WOMAN "18 YEARS IN TERROR"

CHILDREN AS "LITTLE BODYGUARDS"

Mrs. Kittie Upward, the dog-breeder, said that she had lived in terror of her husband for 18 years, when at Penge police court she was granted a separation from him.
She said her husband, Stanley Owen Upward, a publican, of Chesham-crescent, Anerley, S.E., had several times tried to strangle her and had only been prevented from doing so by their young children, whom he called "her little bodyguards."
When he attacked her, he showed his teeth and dashed about, making peculiar noises. Once when one of her pedigree dogs was very ill and she bought it a quarter of a pound of grapes her husband beat her unmercifully, and afterwards she had a nervous breakdown.
Upward denied the allegations. He added that he did the housekeeping because "he could make the money go further than his wife could."
He was ordered to pay £3 3s. costs and 10s. a week to his wife.
