A Real Set-To
A Saturday night brawl in Church Street, Workington, had a sequel at the Police Court on Wednesday when John Tyson Stoddart and John Wm. Murray, both of Griffin Street, were bound over for six months and ordered to pay the costs - 4s - for causing a breach of the peace on March 29th.

Stoddart failed to appear, having just started work that morning after years of idleness.

Inspector Harrison said that he and Sergt. Johnstone saw a huge crowd of people congregated around Duke Street - Church Street corner and when they succeeded in forcing a way through, they found defendants "at it hammer and tongs." They were parted, but Stoddart broke away and the fight was renewed for a few minutes. When told they would be reported, Stoddart said, "How much will it cost?"

In reply to the Chairman, the Inspector said Stoddart was the aggressor and had struck Murray for no apparent reason. Defendants had had some drink, but were not drunk.

Murray told the magistrates that Stoddart "forced him into it," and he (Murray) did not strike a blow, as Stoddart was "a giant to him."

Consent to Marry Young Couple before Workington Court.
Mother's Objection overruled.
A very unusual case, the first of its kind in Workington for a number of years, came before a full bench of magistrates on Wednesday. It was an application by Flora Douglas, a 19-year old maid, employed at Shannon House. Workington, for the consent of the court to her marriage with John Phillips, Wetheriggs Road, Salterbeck.

Applicant told the court that her mother refused her consent because she was under age. Her fiance was twenty-two years of age, was a fitter in constant employment, and his parents were quite willing that they should share the house when they were married.

Phillips said he was earning sufficient to marry his girl, and they intended that the ceremony should take place at St. Johns Church. Why Mrs Douglas had refrained from giving her consent he did not know. When he frist began to to visit his girl's home, a hearty welcome was extended to him, but because he did not fall into their ways, they soon turned against him.

Mrs Douglas in reply to the Chairman, said she had nothing to say, only that the couple did not ask her permission.

Phillips: We did. We stopped you in the market place a week last Saturday night and asked your consent. You refused, turned very nasty and said you would sell every stick in the house, if necerssary, to stop it.

Mrs Douglas: It is a lie.

Chairman: What have you against him? - Oh nothing.
Then why do you keep this attitude?

Mt Bowerbank: Would you have given your consent if you had been approached properly?

Mrs Douglas: That remains to be seen.

Mr Hodgson: Now, now Mrs Douglas is it wise to take up this attitude. He is a respectable young man, they love each other and here you are opposed to a marriage which has every promise of being a happy one.

Mrs Douglas (emphatically): I shall not consent.

Mr McMullen: Oh, reverse your attitude, give the young people your blessing, and go to the wedding with a happy heart.

Mrs Douglas: No.

Chairman (to the couple): You want to get married early?

The answer from both was a loud affirmative.

The bench then retired but were only a few minutes.

Mr R. H. Hodgson looking around at the court said, "Where is the good lady?" Mrs Douglas stepped forward, and addressing her, he said, "we have agreed to give our consent-----"
Mrs Douglas (interposing): I won't." She then walked out of the court without looking at the young couple, whose faces were beaming. They received the blessing of the Bench the boy paid the costs of the application and they walked out of the court arm-in-arm.

Asby Girl's Claim.
Does not satisfy judge.
Before his honor Judge Eustace Hills at Whitehaven County Court on Wednesday, Jane Ann Sisson, farm servant, 28, Asby Road, Asby, claimed from Joseph Teasdale, Moorside Farm, Lamplugh, the sum of £23 10s (made up of wages from November 11th, 1929 until February 12th, 1930; wages in lieu of notice from February 12th to May 15th, and board and lodging costs) on the ground of defendant unlawfully terminating contract of hiring at the rate of £17 for the term. Mr D. J. Mason appeared for the defendant and Mr W. C. Sumner for plaintiff.

PLaintiff said Mrs. Teasdale told her that she could go home ant time from the farm to get her clogs mended, and on February 11th she left between half-past six and seven o'clock with that intention. She got the clogs mended and returned to the farm in company with her mother and brother. The door was locked and she could not get in, although she knocked three times. At the third knock the light in the bedroom went out. She returned next morning and went upstairs. Defendant followed her and ordered her out saying, "Go home. Tell you father I want to see him." Plaintiff left. Defendant had not paid her anything.

Evidence was also given by the girl's mother.

Defendant said that at times he had complaints to make about plaintiff remaining out late at nights, and, on one occasion, not returning returning until the following day. On the night she said she was locked out he intended to come downstairs and settle the matter about coming in late. She left at once and did not give him time to get down. When he saw her the next morning she was gathering her clothes together. She said that she was going home; had been locked out and was not going to work anymore. He told her to go downstairs and get on with her work. She left, but he told her she was not going to get her clothes until he had seen her father. At no time did he dismiss the girl. When the girl liked she was a good worker.

Mrs Teasdale said she did not give the plaintiff permission to go and get her clogs mended that night.

Thomas Southam, the farm boy, said that on February 11th he was in the wash house when the girl came in. She was in a hurry and said she would like to get away before the mistress got back. She ran up the yard. On several occasions the girl had mentioned leaving.

His honour gave judgement for the defendant, pointing out that plaintiff had not satisfied him that she had been dismissed.
