What is a Child?
Mr. Butters referred to the Indus- trial Employment of Children Ordin- ance and quoted a section which stated
that no child could be employed at work during the hours from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.
It was left however, in the Ordinance, for the Magistrate to de- aide whether the person could be call ed a child. The Ordinance mentioned "under the age of 15 years."
The child was examined by Dr. Thomas but no obvious marks of il treatment could be found, nor were there signs of ill health. However, he did not submit that there had been gross cruelty, but he would submit that working 1014 hours each night was too much for a young girl. Such treat- ment was liable to injure her health and there was no sense in waiting until At Leicester, Leicestershire led the health of the child had been por- оп the Ist innings.manently impaired before proceedings Lancashire
