CHILDREN RETURN TO FATHER
Happy Ending to Leek Case
CHEDDLETON MAN BOUND OVER

At a special Police Court at Leek yesterday, Norman Hornung, of Woodland-avenue, Cheddleton, appeared in respect of an adjourned case of alleged neglect of his four children.

Mr. P. T. Bowcock, for defendant, stated that the case came before the Leek Bench three weeks ago and it would be recalled that it was one in which defendant was left with four young children on the death of his wife. The N. S. P. C. C. brought the case with regard to the alleged treatment of the children. It would be recalled that a house had been found at Cheddleton and was in the course of being furnished at that time. The magistrates were good enough to adjourn the case for defendant to do what was necessary.

He (Mr. Bowcock) was pleased to be alie to say that an inspector of the N. S. P. C. C. yesterday found the house to be properiy furnished for the reception of the children and in a perfectly clean condition. The children could be taken there at any time now. The other point arose because defendant was out at work most of the day and it was obviously necessary for some housekeeper to be found to look after the children during the day. He was able to say that a neighbour, Mrs. Whewall, had consented to take care of the children in such a way as to meet the Sociaty's wishes to the fullest extent. Defendant had advertised for a housekeper in the meantime and hoped to secure one in the near future. He was very fond of his children and was anxious to have them back with him at home.

Mr. R. B. Hind, for the Society, stated the ages of the children ranged from nine to two and a half years. In answer to the magistrates. Mr. Bowcock said the chiidren were in good condition, and defendant had good work. His house was a new one.

WOMAN'S OFFER
Mr. Hind said it was rather a bad case of neglect to which Mr. Bowcock, on defendant's behalf, pleaded guilty. He had no wish to stress what the consequences might have been. The object of the Society was in all cases to ensure the welfare of the child, and they felt that if the children could be taken back by their parent in fit condition it was infinitely better and in their interests.

Mrs. Mary Ellen, Whewall, of Woodland-avenue, Cheddleton, gave evidence that she was prepared to take responsibility as stated by Mr. Bowcock until such time as defendant secured someone to take charge of the home.

Mr. G. H. Sheldon (Chairman)—who was accompanied on the Bench by Colonel I. J. Birch, Mr. B. R. S. Pemberton, Mr. A. Mr. Hassall and Mr. W. Cooper—said defendant would be bound over in the sum of £10 to take proper care of the children and would have to pay 15s. costs. They were dealing leniently with him and hoped it would be a lesson. It was a very serious case and they quite agreed with the Society in bringing it to their notice. "We feel that you, as a parent of these children, should look after them and keep them in a better condition than you did," he added.
