MAN APPLIES FOR COURT'S ASSISTANCE

An appellant advised by the Court to consider the question of employing a solicitor to present his case asked Mr Justice J. R. Gregg in the Appeals Court this morning whether the Court itself could do it at a nominal fee as he said he did not think he could afford engaging a solicitor or Counsel.

Appellant was Felix Jacob Pisarsky, of 11-A Carnarvon Road, Room 28, and he appealed against a decision by the Kowloon Magistrate, Mr I. T. Morris, who ordered that the child born to appel- lant and Nina Patrikeeff be in the custody of the mother and that the appellant should have the right of access to it at all reasonable times.

AI the Mogistrate's Court, Nina Patrikoeff, of 11-A Corner- von Road, Room 16, complained that appellant had denied her the custody of and access to their infant son.

His Lordship said he was not certain whether there was any free legal aid for pauperS
