Mary Geary, the mother of the (prosecutor nnd mother-in-law of the prosecutrix, was also living apart from her husband, and she was the sister of the prisoner. It appeared that accusations had been made by the husband of the prosecutrix that the had been too friendly with the1 }<ri.y;ner. That miglJt or might not have been true. At any rate on the day in question, the mother of the man had en- deavoured to get the two parties recon- ciled, and for that purpose the daughter- in-law was up at her house, where they met. her husband.

Mr. Lewis: And after that morning did she sign it?—Yes, sir, she signed it and biii,l, It is perfectly true." Mr. Ivor Evans: Did shp. seem dazed et all;—Xo. sir: in fact, she was in better order than she is now. The prosecution was at this juncture given permission to deal with the witness as a hostile witness. « I DON'T REMEMBER." Mr. Lewis: Now, then, Mrs. Geary, did Joris jump at you when you were sitting in the chair?—I don't remember, sir. Did you in your statement to the police say.

I M 0 CASE. I -0- I Congratulations By I A Conservative. I SOLDIERS' TRIBUTES. To the columns of the NVC-stillillister Gazette Mr. J. Landicar Lucas, Glendora, llindhead, Surrey contributes the following letter: Permit one of your many Conservative readers to offer respectful congratula- tions to Sir Alfred Mond 011 the splendid vindication of his private and political reputation. The importance of the recent: trial, how- ever, as you suggest, extend far beyond the personality of the stateman involved in these baseless libels. Everyone has had to listen, in clubs and elsewhere, dur- ing the last few years, to glanderous attacks of every kimj upon the characters and private lives lof admirals, generals, and politicians engaged in the life arid I death struggle on behalf of this country in the,early days of the war, from the I late Lord Kitchener and the then Prjmü Minister downwards. These tilings seem to have had their origin in the bitterness of political con- troversy, and it may well be within the power of every man (and woman), especially in high places, to see to it that such methods shal) no longer digTU,'C our public lÜe. A TRIBUTE FROM A SOLDI £ B. There are many disabled and at one time wounded soldiers, writes "One of the Disabled" also to the Westminster Gazette/ who will read the result of the Mond libel action with great satisfaction, for many, like myself, were entertained at Sir Alfred's home at Melchet Court, in Hampshire. We were gent for a period of convalescence from Xetley Hospital, and right well lHT we looked after by Lady Mond and her staff of nursing iii"lers It w?.? not onh- thaL Sir Alfred and his lady gaTe of Ü'ir sti?'?fe—tL? m?y have been but a small sacriticc relatively hut it war- also their leisure und them- **lvcs that they devott'd to the work. Sir Alfred's energies were of course almost completely taken up with his Cabinet work, but Lftdy'M'ond, as Commandant of the Hospital, gave practically all her i ime to the men who had been broken, nursing them back into strength and contentment once again. After the hard far and rigid discipline of Xetley it was like entering another world to ex- perience the treatment and sympathy of Lady Mond at Melchet Court. Nothing j was overlooked which might add to the oomtort of the patients, and while we lived like the proverbial lighting cocks" the household itself was rigidly rationed in accordance with the law. Many a man wiJl iook back on his days in the homo of t hefond with real pifasnr?. and I am certain that it has bN'l a real pain to mMny of ?s (o see how <hpir name has beAn bespattered of late. ANOTHER SOLDIER'S TRIBUTE. I "Another who is Disabled followed up tue above letter with this contribu- tion I wi.-h to heartily endorse every word of One of the letter with rererenee to the trcatmnt of wounded soldiers at Melchet Court, not only by Sir Alfred a,nd Lady Miond, but by the whole family. I may eay that I was a patient (or rather a guest) at Melchet Court for nine mouths, with fch eexception of re Miming-" to Xetley fOr surgical operations, find during my etay 60 great was the con- sideration shown to all vhe patients that when the day can.e for us to leave every- one fek quite sad at the thoughts 01 part- ing. I venture to add that had a.ny slurs been cast by anyone in the hearing of the wounded boys the person who uttered a ga d der theul would havo gone away but wiser man." "A CRIMINAL PROSECUTION" Civ is also writes: Speaking of the attacks on Sir Alfred Mond, you say that "to mak e proceed- ings such as these impossible is a prob- lelll that democracy must ^olve." I do net lice how a democracy or any other kind of government can make libel im- possible except by suppressing all free- dom of criticism The extermination of the libel-monger seems to be too much to hope for. But it is not probable that he would be more effectually restrained than at present if he were taught by experi- ence to expect tha. his offence will bring upon him, not an order to pay £ 5,000 damages, at which he can usually smile (" eantabit vacuus viator "), but- a criminal prosecution, resulting in a heavy sentence of impr isonment?

HARBOUR TRUST. I 1
HARBOUR TRUST. I To the Editor. Sir.—With regard to the critical posi- tion in which the Swansea Harbour Trust finds itself, and in view < f the fact that the ratepayers of Swansea — repre- sented by the Corporation-are finan- cially interested to tho extend cf tens of thousands of pounds, I think in the present circumstances that a copy of the Balance Sheet as well as a detailed copy of last year's Trading Account (i.e. Financial Year) should be published in your Journal, in order that the public may know exactly what the position is. The Trading Account should contain the names of all officials and employes (in- door and outdoor) of the Trust, together with their respective salaries and wages. There are many able business Dien in the town, and by adopting the sugges- tion above referred to, a scheme may be devised whereby the difficulties 01 the Trust may be overcome. Yours,etc.— Docksman.

SYMPATHETICALLY RECEIVED. The deputation was very sympathetie- ally received by the manager, who seemed I quite to appreciate the justice of the com- plaints. But he pointed cut that they, as.a gas company, were not to blame. The colliery from which, under Government control, they had to take their Supplies, turned out coal.of a quality which, was not so suitable for their purpose as that which could be obtained if there were an open market.
