'A woman with six children, who sought advice at Acton, said that so as to get a flat she told the landlord that she had only three.
'He accepted her deposit, and allowed her to enter the flat, but on learning of the other three children, ordered her to leave, and would not take her rent. He described her as a trespasser, and threatened to eject her unless she left.
'"If I had told him the truth," said the woman, "he would not have taken me. As soon as I say I have six children, people will not listen any longer."
'The magistrate told applicant that she must make arrangements to leave.'
