A 24-year-old mentally defective woman was “chained like an animal in a cage," the Gateshead magistrates were told re- cently.
The girl's father, Harry Ephraim Bloch (54), said to be the owner of a considerable amount of property in Gateshead, and her brother-in-law, Chaim Samuel Loplan, a Jewish rabbi, both of Bewick Road, Gateshead, were each fined £20, with four guineas costs, for assaulting her by keeping her imprisoned in chains for six days.
Mr D. G. Dodds. prosecuting.} said the girl had been of un- sound mind for some years and on occasiona suffered from spasms of considerable violence.
Defendants, perhaps from complete ignorance, had pre- vented her from receiving proper hospital treatment and had preferred to keep her at home.
