LOVERS MADE HAPPY.
A SYMPATHETIC COURT
There was an unusual incident at the Hove police court recently when a girl of 39 years applied for permission to marry her 19-ycar-old sweetheart, as her father would nut give, his consent. Both her mother and the young man were quite agreeable to the niarriapo, said tho girl, but her father refused to even discuss it with her. The boy had been brought up in a monastery and was earning from £5 to £7 a week. Asked to give his reasons for objecting, the girl's fa'.her replied that he did not actually object, but ho would like lo see more of the lad. He had only known him for about five months. His daughter and the young man went out together every evening.
Tho Mayor, Captain A. B. Wr.les: Well, that's nothing; I used to do that. Sitting with tho Mayor was one other magistrate, Lady Rawson, and after a short consultation the Mayor said they could see no season 'why they should not give their consent.
