"He Looked Into My Eyes": Damages £50

FORMER butcher boy who courted an hotel cook was ordered at Leeds Assizes recently to pay her £50 damages for failing to keep his promise to marry her.

The girl, Rose Gregory, of Guilthwaite, near Rother- ham, sued Christopher William Lawson Steel, now a mas- ter butcher, of Greame House, Muston, near Filey.

Dr. E. C. Chappell, for the girl, said there were two verbal promises of marriage, one in June, 1935. a month before Steel reached 21, and another in 1937.
