Mr. J ackson p<iie.U>d out that the defen- dant, who was in a good way of business, was a married man. Being a moderately clever man of the world, Mr. Jackson said, the d'?cnd.utt obtained a hold upon this ?ome?Ii.a,t simple girl, and took advantage of her. Oiie ia-oiild iiot expect, under the Circumstances that there would be much out- iftde talk, for the defendant—this somewhat clever man of tho world—being in business, was bound to keep it as "dark" as he could. The girl was influenced by the defen- dant's threats, but she kept her own coun- sel. and did not even tell her mother. The applicant, who is a prepossessing girl of twenty-one years, told the Bench that she entered defendant's employ in May, 1912. She had not been at the shop long before Paradise commenced to kiss her on the tsly." and liatter her. When the girl ar- rived at his shop in tho morning, he was rarely up, and she (complainant) frequently took his breakfast to the bedroom. It was in December. 1912. that misconduct ft net took place, in the baThroom. and was fre- quently c-ontinued afterwards. Defendant very often walked across the Docks with her. putting his arm around her waist and neck. When Paradise was informed of her condition, he said, "If I have to rob the Lord Jesus Christ to 1 will you right." The defendant had forccd the girl to tali, aiil salts, by holding a over her throat, and making her drink glass after glass. When she threatened to ex- pose him, he heat her and polled her round the kitchen by her hair, and sai d I will strangle the b—— when it arrive* The c.ii:i was bom oxi October 2Ota, iUi-j. and F::L;<8 was the father. Describing an interview wh.ich she and her mother had with Paradise, complainant he laughed in her mother's face, and the hit\'< 'ax!, You are nothing but a b!ack- 1 guard and scoundre!, and if I was a man 1 would thra-b.ii you." He also said that this was not the fjrt case of this kind he had been in, and won. and remarked when his wife entered the hop crying, There now my lady, I warned you not to tell. Yon have let my wife know, and you will get nothing." She had been to the Cardiff Em- pire and theatre with defendant, and he had bought her a dress, fruit, and sweets. In reply to Mr. Hughes, applicant ad- mitted having received pre.sents of ring. liandia, and locket and chain from sailors, but she denied having walked cut with t1.u,. Evidence that he had .eon the g:r! and defendant together on several occasions at the dockside was given by Fred Westall. of Barry Island. Once, he said, he saw the defendant in a compromising attitude with, the girl near the Barry Dock St-c-ani Joinery. Mary Georgina Lane, m-other of the girl, gave evidence similar to that of the previous heaiing. At a further interview with Para- dise, she said, the defendant offered to give the complainant a sovereign or two on con- dition that it would not be regarded as "hush money," hut defendant's wife said. "If you give them any money ] shall leave you." As in the previous hearing, the defendant, on oath, denied the allegations of the com- plainant. lk<c Pa¡-¡j:t-. w<fe of the defendant, said she had been marr.e-d <<ighteen years. The girl, she said, had never made a com- plaint of her husband's conduct, but the complainant had told her of another man who had misconducted himself with her. Ad? Jones, an ass. i '-t' Ada Jones, ;1Jl assistant in defendant's em- ploy. stated that complainant had told her that she had received presents from sea- Jl!P]! After retirement, the Bench decided to make an order upon defendant for payment of 4 0 per week till the child attained the age of fourteen years, the doctor's and nurse's fee being allowed. The defendant said he was ttnahle to pay. "As a matter of fact." he said, "I am broke.' The bailiffs are lit my shop. T shall have to leave my wiie. ] can pay nothing." AN UNPROVED ASSAULT CHARGE.
