SOCIETY SCANDAL:
SOCIETY SCANDAL: I *» 1 The Hartopp Divorce Suit, EARL COWLEY AS CO-RESPONDENT, Anonymous Letters to Jury and Others' SIR C. HARTOPP'S VISITS TO MRS. SANDS. The hearin* of the Hartopp divorce tnit wag resumed to-day in the Divorce Court (before Mr. Justice Barnes and a special jury), when further vritnesees were called on behalf of Earl Gowley, the co-respondent. Mr. Hwfa Williams, an uncle of Earl Cowley, 6<ud that Earl Cowley -was at his place, Coombe Springs, in Surrey, from the 29th of June to the 1st of July, and again on the 13th, 14th, and 15th, and from the 27th to the 29th of July. (These dates covered eome of the period of the alleged misconduct). Cross-examined, the witness said he was quite aure that Lady Hartopp was not a guest at Coombe Springs on either of those days. She had visited the house. According to his recollection, Lord Cowley aaid Lady Hartopp were not there the first three days of July, but they might have been there earlier. Mr. Justice Barnes here said that there had been anonymous letters sent for the jury, but they had not been handed to them, and he would take care they did not go before them. It was extremely stupid of people to eend them. Mr. Deane, K.C. (for Lord Cowley): People always send letters of this kind. Mr. Inderwick, K.C. (for Lady Hartopp): A number of such letters have been written to Lady Hartopp and to her father. We cannot 10 anything in the matter. Mr. Lawson Walton, K.C. (for Sir Charles Hartopp): I need not say that we have also received anonymous letters, and I have been the subject of attacks which were not anony- mous. (Laughter.) Charles Sheppard, valet to Sir Edward Cole- brooke, said that Lord Cowley was with his master at Newmarket on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th of July. Other witnesses were called to prove that Lord Cowley was at Wystone Hall from the 22nd to the 28th of September, 1901, and that again he was there in January with a party. including Lord Cholmondeley. Subject to calling one other similar witness, Mr. Deane, K.C., said that closed the case for Earl Cowley. Evidence was then called in reference to the ease against* Sir Charles Hartopp and Mrs. Eandc. Alice Sophia Taylor. a widow, said she knew Mrs. Sands. She entered her service in Feb. rnary, 1898, and was with her eight months in that year. She had known her prior to that, having done needlework for her. When she entered her service in 1898 she was living at 19, Graham-street, Eaton-square. Mrs. Sands came the day afterwards from Brighton. Witness acted as cook-housekeeper. Mr. Priestley: During the time she was in Graham-street what sort of a life did she lead? Witness: Well, I could not describe it. What did she do for a living, apparently? )-Tha,t I could not say. Mr. Henry Kisch (who, with Mr. Eufus Isaacs, K.C., waa counsel for Mrs. Sands) here raised an objection, which was overruled. Examination continued: Was she living Mth her husband then?—No. Did anybody visit her there?—Yes. Did gentlemen visit her?—Yes. Where have you seen the gentlemen go With her?—I saw them go into the dining- room and likewise her bedroom. Has that happened more than once?—Yes, that happened very often. Do you recognise any gentleman in court that you have seen at 19, GraJiam-ftreet?— Yes, Sir Charles Hartopp. How many occasions do you think you have seen him at 19, Graham-street?—Three or four. I did not know him by name at the time. Mrs. Sands mentioned his name to me about that time. Tell me what took place in June, 1898?—I was upstairs in my bedroom, when I heard the door open, and, looking out, I saw Mrs. Sands coming upstairs. Was anyone with her?—Ye6, Sir Charles Hartopp. Where did they go ?—Into Mrs. Sands bedr room. Do you know how long they were there. 1 ehould think about half an hour. Are you sure of the gentleman?—Yes, quite Bare. I stayed with Mrs. Sands until the 23rd of October, and sho then went to Australia. I saw nothing more of her until August, 1900, and then I went to see Mrs. Sands at 1. South-street, Thairlow-square. I went into her service again the-re. and remained untJl Feb- ruary, 1901. Has Sir Charles Hartopp been to 1, Somite street, Thurlow-square?—Yes. On how many occasions?—About six times. There was a girl. named Dennison, in service there. Once a telegram came to Mrs. Sauds I think in October—and1 I took it to her to the Cafe Royal, wliera she wafdiniug. I saw the telegram. Did she speak about the contents?—She did. She said who could it be from, and Who was Charlie Did you tell who Charlie was?—I mentioned one, and she said it could not be that one. (Laughter.) What did stie say the telegram was for?—To meet, a gentleman. I do not remember where. I next saw her at her house. Next dav did she speak to you about it?— She said something about Sir Charles, What did she say?-I do not like to mention 4t You better do so?-She said he was no good, for he had no m.ney, and money she wanted. <LiSfiSa.Jp: There mm* ""clSSH' in court. I will have the court cleared there is any more laughter. mm. Witness, continuing, said that bered another occasion when som let into the house.. What did she (Mrs. Sands) say about exp^ ing somebody?—She expected a n~ What were you to do?—He vras not to be left on the doorstep.. t]l Where was Mrs. Sands when he ca door?—In her bedroom. I answerc< and showed the gentleman into t e room and shut the door. Who wae the gentleman?—Sir c^ar top p. Emily Dennison afterwards made a Statement to me about the matter. Did the bell ring again that about 'half an hour after I had let Sir Charier in. Witness added that afterwards servant picked up a shilling in t-a« be > which was handed to Mrs. Sands, who It went off all right." Before left her service Mrs. Sand* went teniporar ly to stay at the Hotel Cecil. She &aw -u Cl iV Hartopp last month coming from Clarg: s street, Piccadilly, and she and the servant identified liim.. u-r Cross-examined by Mr. Lawson Walton, K.U., witness denied that she had helped to get up the case.

CHARGE AGAINST A SPANISH HEIRESS
CHARGE AGAINST A SPANISH HEIRESS At the Marylebone Police-court, London, yesterday, the young Spanish lady and heiress to £ 12,000, named Mercides Algiers de Biol (20), described as of no occupation, living at Lansdown-road, East Croydon, who was charged last week with stealing a lady's gold watch, vaPue JE5. belonging to Marq Ann McKenzie, a lady's maid, of 16, Monmouth- road, Bayswater, should have appeared before Mr. Curtis Bennett on remand to further answer the charge.—Mr. Freke Palmer, soli- citor, now attended the court in her behalf, and stated that when his clerk went to the prisoner the previous day with the object of seeing her, he was told that she was too ill to be seen, and that she could not possibly attend the court. She certainly seemed very strange when seen earlier in the week, and according to the prison officials she was now lying prostrate in the infirmary.-Mr. Curtis Bennett said he had received an intimation from the prison to that effect, and the case would therefore be further remanded.

NEWPORT ORCHESTRAL SOCIETY.
NEWPORT ORCHESTRAL SOCIETY. Members and subscribers alike have every reason to be satisfied with the glowing success of the first concert of the season given last night by the Newport Orcheetral Society at the Tredegar-hall. Mr. E. Barnard Newman, the hon. conductor, has brought the work of the society up to a very high standard, but it is open to fair assertion that last night's performance was quite a record. The selec- tions of the society were very nicely chosen for effect and for bringing out a great variety of real charm from all the instruments. Perhaps it would be a little invidious, but even at that risk the Tannhauser overture, which opened the second part of the pro- gramme, may be claimed as the most meri- torious. Newport, too, was favoured with two vooalists of the very highest calibre, viz., ( Madame Kirby Lunn and Mr. D. Ffrangcon Davies. Mr. Ffrangcon Davies gave the big house a taste of his quality and true artistio style at his debut in Gounod's beautiful song, "There is a green hill far away." This was rendered in a splendid manner. Sweetnees, pathos, taste, artistic, expression, and the deli- cate light and shading of the grand voice left the impression at the close of the singing quite akin to a deep religious inspiration. In the second part Mr. Davies did admirably in "The Bay of Biscay," and met with a numerous encore, when, as in a previous case, he accom- panied himself in the charming little song, Three Jolly-Sailor Boys." Madame Kirkby Lunn was particularly sweet in the pretty little song, Down Here the Lilacs Fade." and had a deserving encore. She was stately I grand and deeply emotional in the Sea.

Jr. Evans, colliery secretary, Penarth, and James R. Wadley, butcher, Penarth. The claim was .for R,17 15s. Mr. George David was for the plaintiff, and Mr. J. Saukey (instructed by Mr. F. Hill) for the defendant.—It was said that plaintiff. while cycling down Lower Westbourne-road, Penarth, on August 16, saw defendant's delivery cart about 130 yards ahead, but on the wrong side of the road. The cyole bell was rung, but, as defendant's man apparently was going to continue on the wrong side, he rode on, when the cart suddenly swerved across the road, and a col- lision ensued. Cyt <■ ,nd clothing were damaged, and Mr. iv..i s had to "lie by" for a week with injury and nervous shook.—The defence was that defendant was serving cus- tomers.—Judgment was given for 916 10s.

GREAT BRITAIN AND MOROCCO. It is rumoured that negotiations are pro- ceeding between Great Britain and Morocco for the cession of the Island of Peregil, between Tangier and Oenta., but the rumour is not credited in Paris. The version that Great Britain has merely asked leave to quarry stone in the island for works at Gibraltar is considered to be more probable. [

A correspondent writes to the "Westminster Gazette" "An old gentleman of pronounced religious views—a friend of our family in Scotland, wished to have cut over the door of a new house the text 'My house shall be called a House of Prayer.' He left the workmen to carry out his wishes during his absence, and on his return his horror was great to find the quotation completed, 'But ye have made it a den of thieves.' 'We had a wee thing mair room, ye see, so we just pit in the end o' the verse,' was the explanation given by the Bible- loving Scot."

TAFF VALE CASE.
TAFF VALE CASE. Claim for £20,000 Damages. THE ACTION^AGAINST THE A.8.R.S. Mr. Beasley Further Cross-Examined. The action brought by the Taff Vale Bail- way Company against the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants and others was further heard to-day (before Mr. Justice: Wilis and a special jury) in the King's Bench Division, plaintiffs seeking to recover £26,000 for alleged conspiracy by defendants to bring about a strike on the plaintiffs' railway. Counsel appeared as before. Mr. Hammond Beasley, the general manager of the plaintiff company, was further cross-examined by Mr. Rufus Isaaep for the defence. He said he did not come into personal contact with Mr. Richard Bell during the negotiations which ended in con- sequence of the strike. A report of Sir F. Hopwood, who inquired into the matter, was sent to Mr. Ritchie, the President of the Board of Trade. Mr. Bankea objected to the report being read. Mr. Isaacs said he did not suggest the report was evidence to show what had taken place. His Lordship absented to it being used in that way, and Mr. Isaacs then read a. letter sent by Sir F. Hopwood to Mr. Ritchie report- ing the circumstances of the strike, showing the efforts that had been made to bring about a settlement and calling attention to the fact that the society had disapproved of the strike, and had directed the general secretary to endeavour to arrange terms of settlement. Mr. Hankeø said that was not true. Mr. Isaacs said Mr. Bankea might prove that afterwards. He continued reading the report, in which Sir F. Hopwood had praised Mr. Bell for the fairness he had displayed. He had struggled hard to gain all that he deemed essential to the best interests of the men, taking a wide and generous view of the pros. and cons, of the matter. The report concluded by approving Sir W. T. Lewis's suggestion for a conciliation board. (To witness): Did the question of the conciliation board have the consideration of the com- pany?—Yes, soon after the strike. This question of representation wae a great point between you and the men?—I think I have said all I have to say on that subject yesterday. Can you answer the question? I believe the question of representation was one of the questions on which you split?—No, I don't think it was. We have always resisted the men on the question of representation. That was the question on which you take the position that nothing would induce you to reconsider it ?—Certainly. What about taking back the men and get- ting rid of strangers ?|We never undertook to get rid of strangers, but we agreed to take back our owon men in a month. The other question was that of a concilia- tion board'?—Yes; and on that point I stated that the directors must guard themselves against saying anything in favour of a prin- ciple they had not discussed. His Lordship: But* they promised full con- sideration?—Yes, they did. Mr. Isaacs said in the case of the miners there was a conciliation board, called the sliding^scale committee. Mr. Bankcs said that committee was not a conciliation board. Mr. Isaacs (to witness): Do not they decide questions which arise?—I think so, but there are representives of the men and! the employers also on the gliding-scale committee in an equal number. They discuss question which arise between masters and men?—Yes, but they never settle them. (Laughter.) And the idea, of the conciliation board was something of the same kina?—Very likely; bnt it was never submitted to us. If it was discussed by the directors I sup- pose there will be minutes on the subject?— No doubt. Mr. Bankes said he would look up the minutes. Mr. Isaaas: There never was a conciliation board?—No. As I right in your view that a conciliation board should not be appointed?—Certainly you are. That has always been your view?—Yes. And, that being youn view, that is how you approach an impartial consideration of the subject?—The directors had to consider the matter. But I suppose they are a good deal in- fluenced by j-our views?—I don't think they are. They pay me the compliment sometimes 09 accepting my views. His Lordship: It is no reproach to him that he entertains views against a conciliation board. Mr. Isaacs: I am not suggesting it is. His Lordship: You are suggesting that full consideration was not probable under the circumstances. Mr. Isaacs: I am suggesting that, as it is hardly .likely they will consider the matter fully when their opinion is against it. His Lordship: That is what frequently takes place in Parliament. Parliament gives full consideration to questions when the members are pledged one way or the other. Mr. Isaacs (to witness): Except for a dis- cussion which took place shortly after the strike, has there been any full consideration of it at! all, or did you come to the conclusion at once that you. would (Proceeding.)
PRINCESS' ROMANCE.
PRINCESS' ROMANCE. Her Lover's Scheme for Elopement. FRUSTRATED AT THE LAST MOMENT. According to the Budapest evening papers, Lieutenant Mattasich Keglevich made a bold attempt to rescue Princess Louise of Coburg from the Lindenhof Asylum, near Dresden. He went to Dresden, and hovered around till he succeeded in meeting the prisoner driving, and communicated to her a plan of flight. After a hurried conversation the Princess returned to Lindenhof, promising to meet Keglevich the following day in order to elope again. Keglewichbribed the Auncess' attendant, who promised to help the lovers. She, how- ever, betrayed the secret to the proprietor of the Lindenhof, who had steps taken to prevent the elopement. The attendant wrote to Keg- levich informing him that the project had failed, and that precautions had been taken to render further efforts useless. Keglevich returned to Budapest, where in an interview he recounted the difficulties he experienced before he was able to speak to the Princess. He declared that she is per- fectly sane, and that his life's work would be to liberate her. It is several years since Lieutenant Matta- sich Keglevich eloped with Princess Louise of Coburg, wife of Prince Philip of Coburg, and second daughter of the King of the Belgians. The runaways were caught, and the Princess was confined to a nasylum at Koswig, near Dresden. The lieutenant was imprisoned for four years for forging the name of Princess Stephanie, Princess Louise's sister, and using the money thus obtained to satisfy the latter's extravagant tastes in dress and jewels.

GLAMORGAN ASSIZES
GLAMORGAN ASSIZES Conclusion of Swansea Session. ACTION AGAINST MUMBLES » COUNCIL The last sitting of Mr. Juatioe Bucknill in the autumn assizes for the county of Glamor- gan, held at Swansea, took place yesterday, day. At the conclusion of the business his Lord- ship made some suggestions as to how the new courts could be still further improved in regard to the minor arrangements of their aitinga. As the' juries had found it difficult to hear the witnesses across the court, he thought the jury-box should be brought out a few feet and a passage allowed behind it, and that on the other side the witness-box should be brought forward nearer to the jury-box, leaving space behind for the repre- sentatives of the press, who, he believed, were at present not very comfortably bestowed. THE ACTION AGAINST MUMBLES LOCAL BOARD. Bosworth v. Ûystermouth District Council.— In this case. in which plaintiff claimed for damage done to his field by drainage sent into it by defendants, was resumed. The defen- dants put into the witness-box the surveyor, Mr. Hocking, Mr. Woollacott, late chairman of the board, and several other witnesses, to testify that there had been no change in the disposal of the sewage matter, and that only slop water came down by the drain which was in question in the action.—His lordship arranged to make a visit of inspection to the spot to-day (Friday), and to give his decision at a^utnre date in London. THE LAST CASE. The Imperial Acetylene Gas Company, Man- chester, sued Messrs. Bull and Co., Cardiff, for certain generators. &c.. supplied.—Mr. Sa-nkey appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr. Arthur Lewis for the defendants.—The plain- tiffs had claimed for a quantity of goods sup- plied by them through defendants to cus- tomers, and judgment for a certain sum had been already given in chambers. The claim for present consideration related to a par- ticular generator.—His Lordship held that the plaintiffs, according to the arrangement between the parties, could not recover till defendants had been paid for the generator by the customer, but he refused defendants I their costs on the ground of delay in return- ing the machine.
HEAVY FAILURE.
HEAVY FAILURE. Disastrous Speculations in Australia. A sitting waa held of the London Bank- ruptcy-court yesterday for the public exami- nation of Benjamin Josman Fink, of 17, Pem- bridge-gardene, Notting-hill- The accounts showed liabilities £135,288 and assets nil. In answer to Mr. E. L. Hough, Offioiad Receiver, the debtor said that for many years prior to 1892 he resided in Australia. He was interested in four sheep and cattle stations in New South Wales, Queensland, and Victoria, and had invested large sunM in house property i in Melbourne and its suburbs, and in a large number of mining, commercial, and industrial companies. Owing to the financial crisis which oocuTred in Australia in 1892, he was compelled to effect a statutory arrangement with his creditors, under which a composition of id. in the £ was accepted by them. His liabilities were then returned at £1,520,175, a,garinst assets valued at £500,900: but the ranking indebtedness was much less, owing to mortgaged properties having realised sum- cient to satisfy the mortgage debts and other claims for which he was liable, as surety, having been discharged by the principal debtors. For some time afterwards he assisted the mortgagees in realising portions of his estate, and for a. short period during 1895 and 1896 was a stock-jobber on the Mel- bourne Stock Exchange. Of his present liabi- lities £134.688 was due for calls- on shares, plus interest. Nearly all these shares were held by creditors tbt the time of his previous failure, but were not afterwards transferred from his name, and his present position wa.9 entirely due to his having been sued for Buch calls. Mr. Hough: I believe you had expended a considerable sum upon' these properties in Australia? The Debtor: Over a million sterling. He added that the id. in the £ was a. nominal composition, which the creditors unanimously accepted, for the purpose of complying with the statute, which required some dividend to be declared. As a. fact, creditors for over a million were fully secured and made no claim, and practically the whole of the unsecured debts had run off. The examination was concluded.
FIGHT WITH A PYTHON *
FIGHT WITH A PYTHON Exciting Adventure on the High Seas. Captain Golding, of the British steamer Afridi, which has just arrived at New Fork from Singapore and Shanghai, with a cargo of tea and wild animals, relates a. very exciting adventure which occurred during the voyage. At Singapore a. python and a Bengal tiger were taken on board. All went well until the second night out from Shanghai, when the python knocked the top off its box and made its way into a wooden structure on the bridge deck, where the other animals were kept. The screams of the birds and beasts attracted Captain Gold- ing's attention, and by the light of the moon he could see the python gliding hither and thither and hear its rustling movement. Accompanied by the mate holding a- powerful lantern. Captain Golding. armed with an axe, tackled the deadly reptile. While the mate flashed the lantern in the python's face to divert its attention, Captain Golding slashed with his axe, almost severing its body. Hiss- ing and coiling ready to spring on his assailants, the python Was again foiled by the flash of the mate's lantern, and Captain Golding rendered it helpleeia with three ter- rific blows. Among the other animais on board were a Japanese bear, a tapir, an anoa, a monitor lizard, a bamboo rat, a Java peacock, and a lot of monkeys.

Lewis) Maggie Hughes, nineteen, waa charged with stealing a gold ring, value 15s., the property of Emma Solomon, from 131, Treharris-street, on Tuesday.—Mrs. Solomon, who is a widow, said that on Tuesday morning prisoner came to her and said she had been locked out of her situation, and witness's sistev gave her permission to sleep in the house—in the back bedroom.

LOVER'S SUICIDE.
LOVER'S SUICIDE. .At' Remarkable Case of Jealousy. EXTRAORDINARY LETTER AT THE INQUEST. The coroner for Berks, Mr. W. Weedon, held an inquest at Maidenhead yester- day on the young German hairdresser, Paul Rosenberg, who shot himself in the presence of his former sweetheart, Miss Elizabeth Ermer, at Cuba Cottage. Sheephouse Farm Estate, Maidenhead It. transpired that the deceased bought the revolver with money he was entrusted with by Miss Ermer's brother, who found him temporary employment. Amongst the letters in the hands of the police was one addressed by deceased from 58, Warwick-street, Regent- street, London, and sent to a Mr. Arthur Centrah, in which deceased said: — I have been informed by Mr. Ermer that you, sir, should have had a proposal from his sister to marry her. I, the undersigned, have been engaged to Elizabeth Ermer for the last two years, and would have mar- ried her at the end of last October, but our engagement was at the beginning of that month broken off. The reason why was never mentioned until I found it out through Mr. Ermer. The girl's head seems to have been turned by the mother's advice. The wife of a builder sounds grander than the wife of a. hairdresser. I wish you, sir, the best of luck in your approaching marriage with Miss Ermer. Then follow some other remarkable expres- sions. Then the letter continued:- Once more, dear air. wishing you the best of luck in your wedded life with E. Ermer, trusting your income will enable you to provide her with a carriage to ride about in—Yours faithfully, PAUL ROSENBERG. Care of Herman Ermer, 58, Warwick-street, Regent-street, London. The jury returned a verdict of "Suicide during temporary insanity."

WELSH CHARACTER IN SHAKSPEARE.
WELSH CHARACTER IN SHAKSPEARE. A lecture on this subject was delivered last night to the Birmingham Welsh National Society by Mr. E. Morris. After a brief resume of Shakspears's life the lecturer proceeded to give a fine analysis of the three principal Welsh characters in Shakspeare-the Chief- tain Owen Glyndower in the play of Henry IV., the soldier Fluellyn in Henry V., and Sir Hugh Evans in the Merry Wives of Windsor. Shakspeare did not represent Glyndwr as speaking broken English in the same way as the other two. His language was polished and such as might reasonably -be expected from one who had the advantage of training at the English Court. He was the Wallace 01 Wales, and his vanity and superstition might be forgiven, for he troubled the English till they believed him and taught him to believe himself a conqueror. Fluellyn was evidently a favourite creation of Shakspeare. The ten- derness of the touch, even when his eccentri- cities made one smile, was very apparent. Welshmen had a right to feel thankful that Shakspeare, whilst emphasising his eccentri. cities, presented him in such a manner as to make us love and respect him. As for Sir Hugh Evans, taking him for all in all, he was a credit to his country, and though he was thrown into various undignified attitudes by the author, and although one laughs with and sometimes at him, yet Shakspeare had never once committed his character in such a way that we should refuse cordially to grasp his hand.

SOUTH AFRICA TRADE
SOUTH AFRICA TRADE A Great Wave of Prosperity. IMMENSE VOLUME OF BRITISH SHIPMENTS. The latest figures confirm the most san- guine anticipations as to the growth of British trade with South Africa. The monthly totals for October exceed all previous records by nearly a quarter of a million sterling, while the totals of principal articles for the ten months, and of the aggregate of British trade for the same period, again exceed the volume of any previous twelve months recorded hitherto. The highest monthly total attained in the past was in July of this year, but this stands behind that of the month under review by £219,945, which is the fourth con- secutive month in which the imports "rom the United Kingdom of principal articles ex- ceed .El.OM.OM. The total for October amounted to no less than £ 1,293.941. and that of the ten months to £ 9,750,872, these amounts being respectively £ 219,945 and £3,;Z¡,375 in excess of any previous precedents. The "British and South African Export Gazette" contends that these figures, while furnishing incontestable proof of the wave of prosperity now surging in South African trade, fully support the conjecture adventured in the issue of that journal that the complete results of the year's operations would show a dupli- cation of the trade volume of 1898, the last full year before the war. The significance of these results to those interested in Anglo- South African trade needs no comments to enforce.

PROVISION MtRCHANT HEAVILY…
PROVISION MtRCHANT HEAVILY FINED. TVilliam White, provision merchant, of 10, James street, Haymarket, was sonimoued under the Public Health (London) Act, at Marlborough-street Police-court, London, yes- terday, for having on his premises exposed for sale 201 tins of filleted herrings, which were unfit for human food. Mr. Strutt, chief sanitary inspector for the City of Westminster, said that on November 21, Sanitary-inspector McNair called at the defendant's shop to examine his stocls, and found on a shelf at the back of the counter 2G1 tins of filleted herrings which were putrid and unfit for food. The defendant said they wer? part of a bankrupt stock that he had purchased, and thathtt had sold none of them. That statement seemed true. Defendant had been sentenced from this court to two months' imprisonment for tinning bad caviare. U I.on appeal the term was reduced to one month. Mr. Kennedy remarked that the defendant ought to have examined the tins. As there had been a previous conviction, he would be fined £ 100, with 2s. costs, or two months' im- 'l prisonment in default. It was stated that the money would be paid. j
IMPU9ENT..
IMPU9ENT.. Girl's Escapade from i North Wales. I ATTEMPT TO DEFRAUD A RAILWAY COMPANY. A respectable-looking young woman, named Ethel Irene Fletcher, eighteen, described as a machinist, of Eurstall-roa-d, South Tottenham, was charged at Yarylebolle Police-court, Lon- don, yestErday, with attempting bJ- means of false pretences, to obtain from tÎ1e London and North-Western Railway Company the sum of £ 57 lis., with intent to defraud. The prisoner having pleaded guilty, Mr. F. Lambert, who prosecuted, said the facts of the case were of an unusual character for a young womau only eighteen years of age. On Sep- tember 15 last she travelled from Colwyn Bay to Euston, and on arriving at the latter place she complained to the company's officials that her luggage, eontaiuing many very expensive articles, including jewellery, a fur-lined cloak. a nurse's outfit, Xc., yalued at between £ 50 and £ 60, was missing. The girl's story was a fabrication. It was found that in July last she went to Aberystwitb. where she filled the position of h01ls-emaid aud waitress at a boarding house. BC{:au8e lIf her dishonesty she was discharged, and she then went to Colwyn Bay and took a lodging. 8he was there joined by a little girl she had invited from London. After staying a week she left the house, ostensibly for the purpose of purchas- ing some presents fur her friends, but in reality she went to the railway station and travelled to town. Detective-sergeants Seymour and Allen, who arrested her. said she remarked that she did not)mow what made her ào such a thing. Her aunt was shoort of money, and she knew a few- pounds would be a help to her. 111'. Treherne, of Aberystwith, said he dis- charged the prisoner in September last for stealing property belonging to himself and some of hi8 boarders. Mr. Kirby. the court missionary, offered to get the girl into a home, and Ehe had con- sented to go. Yr. Curtis Bennett remanded the prisoner.

THE RUNNING OF SERMON.
THE RUNNING OF SERMON. The stewards of the Jockey Club called upon Mr F W Day, trainer for SIr E Cassel, to explain the running of Sermon in the Hopeful Stakes at the First October Meeting at Newmarket and in the Prendergast Stakes at the Second October Meeting. They deferred giving any decision, in compliance with a request from Sir E Cassel, who intended to institute au inquiry. The stewards approved the appointment of Mr C W Matthews, barrister-at-law, to conduct such inquiry, and he has forwarded to the stewards the report, with a transcript of a shorthand note of the statements made belore him. As to the conclusions arrived at in the report. the stewards adopt and confirm them. The stewards, therefore, exonerate F W Day and W Halsey, the rider of Sermon, from any blame in the matter.
