L, Davis, Vicar of Ellington against his son, William Reginald Davis, aged 25 years, at Doncaster on April 17, postcards of an abusive nature were read. It was stated by the prosecution that sccused declined to work and never made any attempt to make his father's allowance suffice for his needs. Bo continually blackmailed his father and made use of threats, and had done his best to make his father's life miserable and frigh- ten money out of him by threats of violence. The young man had also tried to damage his father by correspondence with the ecclesiastical authorities. One of Iostcardde addressed to com- plainant by the accused stated:→ You are not worth writing to,
I shall protest until you abandon
your cant and bypocrisy. Presch better sermone. You have made
my mother's life a hell.” The case was remanded.
