George Cooper, labourer of Bishops Waltham, was summoned by Kate Titheridge of Swanmore to show cause why he should not contribute to support of her child born on 10th September of which she alleged him to be the father. Full collaborative evidence was given and the defendant was ordered to pay two shillings per week (10p per week in new money) until the child attained the age of 15 years and costs of 23 shillings (£1 15p)"
