at the Old Balley, when Arthur: Vladistow Chambers, 34, radio en- gineer, was found guilty of forging and uttering a summons issued by the Registrar of the Kingston County Court. Sentence was postponed till next sessions.

"You must have nothing more to do with the girl. Fortunately she has been saved from you," said the Common Serjeant, Mr. G. C. White- ley, K.C, to Chambers.

Mr. G. B. McClure, prosecuting, said that in December Chambers and the girl, who was 19, became at- Chambers tuched to each other. told her that he was married and had a child, but was anxious to divorce his wife.

The girl's parents asked Chambers to wait until he obtained a divorce before the matter went further,

INJUNCTION THREAT

girl"

On December 21, Chambers asked the girl to go away with him. She refused. He then produced the document alleged to have been for-

ged.

It was a summons addressed to Chambers and in effect said the father was taking proceedings for an injunction against him. Chambers said to the girl, "Your father thinks you are my mistress. He is trying to make money out of it and that

house.* is why I cannot go to your hou

Mr. McClure said the

summons was originally issued on a claim for £8 188. 6d. which apparently had not been paid for some bicycles,

So, sweetheart, in my own mind I am clear of this in this matter. You seem to want me to go away and not see you any more. My love for you is so strong I cannot imagine anything to shalce it. 1 think it would be the same" for

you...

I realise now how moan and wrong it was for me to make you

love me...

How mean and despicable it was to think against your father; one of the meanest things one can do. I do not attempt to excuso this except to say "all is fair in love; and war." A poor excuse, I know. Please just try and forget me as a bad dream and wake up with the happiness I could not give you. In another letter Chambers wrate:

it only you had looked at me. I would have come over, father or no father. Policemen," solicitors and all the judges in the world would not have stopped me.

You did not even glance at mo and I understand. I think, why? Darling, I know your little heart has not changed.

I love you more than ever before, I had made up my mind to plead gulity to avold more, trouble and › expense, but at the last moment I

could not do it.
