“LOVE LAUGHS AT—”
GIRL FORGES PERMISSION TO MARRY OVE, it appears, laughs not only at locksmiths, but at magistrates, parents, and everybody else,” said the Bolton prosecutor at the local Police Court, when Harold Fisher, 20, and Lucy Fisher, 18, were charged with forging a document for the purpose of procuring a marriage contrary to the Guardianship of Infants Act, 1924, and also .to the Forgery Act. It was stated that the parties applied to the Court for permission to marry just over a year ago, but the girl’s parents objected and the application was refused. The police found that the vicar at a Bolton church had in his possession a note granting permission for the marriage and purporting to be signed by the girl’s parents. The parents, however, denied signing it. Lucy Fisher admitted writing the note, and the vicar said it was produced by the Fishers last May, and the marriage took place on July 15. The couple were bound over for 12 months. '
