MOI shire council is calling for public feed- back on the dra of its Economic Development Strategy 2019 - 2023.

From time to time prior to the birth of her child she went to service at Minchin’s, Baxter’s, and Walker’s, receiving 17/6 a week as wages, which she used to give to her mother. When at home she milked cows and did general work in the house. She was 19 years of age on April 2 of this year. No one was employed on the farm when she was at home. Intimate relations with defendant commenced in March, 1918, and continued till July. Intimacy had never taken place at defendant’s house. Defendant was the father of her child; no one else had been intimate with her. When she found herself in trouble defendant spoke of marriage, and said he would fix date on his next visit. His next reference to mar- riage was that he need not marry her: she could sue him for maintenance, but he said he would not see her taken down, and asked her what she thought was a fair thing. She said nothing less than £250, and he replied that she would have to expect, a good deal less than £10. On November 5 witness asked him if he would marry her, and he replied that he would not do so till after the child was born, and she replied that he need not marry her at all then. He asked if her mother would agree to his paying the maternity expenses and then having the child “put on the State,” and said that if she did not agree to that she would “have to put up with it.” On June 2, some time after this action was commenced, defendant asked her if the case could be settled, and she replied that everything would In rehearsal ...
