A girl of 18, named Leila Maud Collins, proceeded against a man named Walter Launder, at the North Melbourne court yesterday, for the maintenance of her illegitimate child.

The complainant gave evidence that the defendant had seduced her under a promise of marriage. She had known him for two or three years. On the 26th ult, she gave birth to a child, of which the defendant was the father.

Francis Collins said that he was the father of last witness. The defendant used to visit his house, keeping company with complainant. When he learned of his daughter's condition, he interviewed Launder, who asked for time to give an answer.
