AFFILIATION
Adam Carter, aged 46, a person of weak intellect, who resides with Mr John Glasson at Truthall in Sithney, was summoned by Elizabeth Ann Glanville aged 33, in Mr Glasson's employ as a servant, to show why etc.... she admitted to have given birth to two illegitimate children previously; one while in service in Mawgan and another elsewhere, the latter having been born 11 years since.
... In Truthall 5 1/2 years ... much of that time on friendly terms with Mr Carter, who had escorted her to Chapel, walked with her ... given her a locket, chain, gold brooch, photo & had taken liberties with her, esp. in the last week of November last in the cows' house & on other occasions subsequently ... admitted being father to the child & finally agreed to marry her. On hearing ... dismissed by employer, immediately retired to the workhouse, where her male child was born on August 30th.
She admitted that since she left the house, she had met Mr Glasson ... told him Carter took liberties only once... Norma Glasson proved an unsatisfactory witness.
Margaret Oates (73 ? 78?) domestic at Truthall .... had not heard complainant say she was enceinte... but, being an old woman, knew it ... questioned Carter last July, in fruit garden... he admitted paternity... never heard that William Pryor, servant, was thefather. One of Glanville's children lodged in her house.
(Cross-examiner) William Dale, insisted that Carter not liable... he possessed little brains, having been injured by a sunstroke whilst in India & could not count 20 shillings correctly; otherwise he should have had him there that day.
He was supported by his brother (Vernon). Complainant's previous character, unsteady conduct, untruthful statements - motives not disinterested - asked bench to refrain from making an order.
Chairman - after consultation - announced Bench would make an order.

Mr Dale gave notice of an appeal.
