sir robert juckes clifton: before he came of age in 1847, his gambling and horse racing activities placed him in debt to ford and, like cecil, was forced to live abroad. when he came of age he returned to england and ford sued for his money. clifton's father applied for an injunction against ford but lost the case, however, the judge had little sympathy for ford saying: "if a man would assist a boy of 19 or 20 to run extravagantly into debt, it was to be wished he would lose his money"
