Only two this week, I'm afraid. It will be a fortnight before I go to the library again. LRSM = Lincoln, Rutland and Stamford Mercury Full details from the newspaper appear below; I have no further information. LRSM 16 May 1856 Boston Petty Sessions 14 May An application was made by Ann EATON, of Sutterton, singlewoman, for an order upon Benj. JEFFERY, of Algarkirk, for maintenance of her illegitimate child. Mr. YORK appeared for the applicant, and Mr. SNAITH for the defence. After hearing, the order was refused for want of sufficient corroborative testimony. LRSM 23 May 1856 Lincoln City Petty Sessions 22 May Henry JOHNSON, aged 18, apprentice to Mr. C. CURTIS, butcher, Guildhall-street, was adjudged to be the father of the child of Mary MACKINDER, and ordered to pay 1s. 6d. per week towards its maintenance: in default to be committed to prison.
