Couple Were Cruel To Unwanted Child

"There is only one punishment for cases of this sort, and that is imprison- ment," said Sir Basil Watson, K.C., the North London magistrate recently when sentencing a man and woman for ill-treating and neglecting a child aged 2 years 8 months, Maureen Ann Stannard.

Leonard Llewelyn Hodges and Elsie May Stannard, of Crossway, Stoke Newington, were sent to prison for a month and 21 days respec- tively.

tho Mr. C. V. Young, prosecuting for N.S.P.C.C., said the couple had a baby aged ten months who was well cared for, but the sum- mons related to another child which Stannard had by someone else.

An inspector who visited their home found Maureen pale and under-nourished. She had several bruises on her face, and when her clothes were taken off it was found that the whole of her back was covered with bruises.

Dr. Lilian Rivlin. of Mare- street, Hackney, said that in her! opinion the bruises had been caused by pinching or hard! blows. They could not all have been caused by a fall.

Inspector Mason, N.S.P.C.C., said that when he pointed out the girl's bruises, Hodges said: "She is always falling about." He said: "Look man, she could not lice that by falling about," and get Hodges replied: "I suppose I musi have done some of it."

probably did Stannard said: "I some of it, as I have paid her by smacking her with my hand for be- Ing dirty or naughty."

Hodges told Mr. Watson that he hid hit the child, but had never pinched her, and Stannard said she. had never larmed Maureen and had always taken care of her. She sug- gested that the case
