He had only been married recently, and farmed about 11 acres. Mr. Averill applied for an allowance of 2s. 6d. a week, but Mr. Gwillim said his own experience led him to believe that if they attempted to overweight man, it often ended his leaving the country, and them the mother got no support for her child.
