That reminds me, many years ago the local rag used to report with relish the proceedings of paternity cases in the Sheriff Court. One has stuck in my mind and still makes me laugh to this day. A young woman who had claimed paternity against a man, was horrified and extremely upset when the said man appeared in his best suit and a few of his mates, all swearing on the bible that they had all many times enjoyed her favours. The Sheriff grinned apparently and said that they would all have to have blood tests and in the meantime, would ALL have to pay the young woman 30 shillings a week, haha! Uproar in court and the Sheriff pointed out the penalties for perverting the course of justice and perjury.
