South Australian Register 22 Sep 1891
George KEEN was charged by Mary BOLITHO with unlawfully leaving her without adequate means to support his four illegitimate children. Mr. M. H. Davies defended. The evidence of the prosecutrix showed a sad state of things.. Both parties had been living together as .man and wife for over ten years. The children had been registered with defendant's knowledge in his name. Defendant, according to her statement, had left her, and was living with another person. She had very often not sufficient means to support the children. He gave the children money, but not her. Mr. Davies said his client could not live with the prosecutrix, but was continually giving prosacutrix money which she failed to spend rightly. He asked that tho case should be adjourned for a week in order that arrangements could be made whereby the children would be satisfactorily taken care of. Adjourned till September 28.
