Court Case - Child Neglect 13 Feb 1901 Elizabeth appeared before Accrington Police Court along with her husband Hartley charged with child cruelty against their six children with the case being brought on behalf of the NSPCC. The family had been under supervision since 11 Sep 1900. Particular reference is made to the condition of their daughter Clara , aged four, who had lost the sight in one eye and the other was inflamed due to neglect. The reason for the neglect was put down to Hartley's drinking habit and that Elizabeth had "probably lost heart". The Court found the case proved. The Court wanted to reserve judgment on any penalty for one month pending further reports on the family's progress during the intervening period.[7]

By this time Elizabeth had left the family; supposedly leaving for another man.[9]
