Following the birth of John William (on January 2nd), Jane took John to court in an attempt to have him pay maintenance. In the case heard on January 31st, Jane stated she had been living with William and Harriet (John's parents) during the early part of 1860, and had left to return home on March 27th. Although John denied paternity, a number of witnesses stated he had claimed he was the father in earlier conversations. He was ordered to pay seven shillings per week for a year towards maintenance. At a further hearing on March 21st, John admitted he had not paid anything. He was ordered to pay twenty-eight shillings or be jailed for 12 months. Presumably he decided that marriage was the cheaper option! - John Graham
