1876-10-07 Croydon Police Intelligence:

Richard Harding, of the Labourer's Dwellings, Croydon, appeared to answer an adjourned summons for neglecting to contribute towards the maintenance of his son, who is in an Industrial School.—Mr. Harris, Inspector of Industrial Schools, said the defendant's son had been in the school one year and eight months and defendant had not paid one farthing. The wife had said in court that they did not intend to pay. The arrears amounted to 19s. 6d. The prisoner had been given a month to find the money, and now they were as far off as ever.—Defendant said he was unable to pay the money. He had been allowed a month to pay the money in, but had lost his work through this case, and therefore could not pay.—In reply to the bench, prisoner said he had not goods of sufficient value to pay the arrears and bench costs, consequently he was sent to horsemonger lane [both initials lower case in the original] Gaol for 14 days.
