  • 8 Apr 1868: At the City Police Court yesterday, a person named Elias Jeffery was summoned for the maintenance of three of his children, at present inmates of the Yarra Bend. The proceedings were taken at the instance of the Master in Lunacy, under the new Lunacy Act, which gives the bench power to make parents contribute, according to their means, to the maintenance of their children under such circumstances. An order was made against the prisoner last October to contribute towards the support of the children, but this he had never complied with. Mrs Elizabeth Jeffey, the step-mother of the children, swore that her husband was in a position to pay, and the bench made an order for the payment of £32 8s., being arrears due from the 1st of October until the 1st of April ; and, further, for the payment of 24s a week, for twelve months ; the defendant to find one surety of £100 for the due carrying out of the order. Elias Jeffery6
