N.S.P.C.C.. said that he visited
the house where the wife and
children were living at
Frizinghall in September and be
said the children were in a filthy
state, their heads being
particularly dirty. They were,
however, well nourished. On a
subsequent visit he found the
children's heads were worse. On
one occasion when he went found an
upstairs window was broken and one
of the children had its arm
through the broken pane. On a
further visit he found the
children locked in.
DUE TO NEGLECT Dr. West Watson
said he had examined the children
and found they had scabs on their
heads, a condition due to neglect.
A police officer said that on
October 26 he was on duty in
Frizinghall Road when saw the
defendants' little children
standing outside the house and
unable to get in. He obtained a
ladder and gained access to the
house through bedroom window. The
children were clothed, but there
was no fire in the house and they
were obviously cold. It being cold
weather. While they were well
nourished, they were in a dirty
condition as was the house and the
bedroom.

evidence, said he was working at
Earby and was in consequence
living away from his wife and
family, but he never sent her lees
than £3 a week. His average wages
were about £8.

been to 26 Buxton Lane, for
weekends.
The female defendant denied the
charge and said when she left the
children, she arranged with a
friend to look after them. She
asserted that her husband had not
sent her enough money to run the
household.
Mrs. Lambert, a neighbour, said
that Mrs. Harris had shown her
three one-pound notes which she
said she had received from her
husband.
Mrs. Harris: How often have I
borrowed money from you? Witness:
You have not borrowed from me.
After the magistrates had retired
to consider their verdict the
Chairman said they were satisfied
that the children had been
neglected, and they had decided to
adjourn the case for six weeks.
"We hope in that time there will
some improvement. The officers of
the Society will keep in touch. We
want give you an opportunity of
doing better and we think the
husband should give his wife more
money." The case was accordingly
adjourned to March 26.
