According to the official opinion. Captain Kendall, commander of the Montrose has a primary claim by the police, for it was through the watch- fulness of the captain and his stall and the circumspection they exercised in communi- cating their suspicions to the police, that, the hunt for Crippen and Im companion ha« been brought to such a satisfactory conclu- sion. It is stated that the captain* was not aware, that a reward had been offered.
....I WIFE OF REGISTRAR SENTENCED.I
WIFE OF REGISTRAR SENTENCED. After a trial which occupied several days, I' Mrs. Annie Tug well, wife of a Sutton regis- trar, was on Monday sentenced to twelve months' at Guildford Assizes for sending letters libelling Canon Cafferata and others. She was also ordered to pay the costs of the prosecution. Witnesses tor the defence said that at various (iites when anonymous, letters were posted, Mrs. Tugwell was staying at King- ham, Oxfordshire, and Blnnfishani, Hunt- ingdonshire, Mrs. Tugwell's dressmaker de-, pOHcd to making several skirts for her. She i remembered the greenish-grey dress pro- duced. There had not been any pocket in it. Mrs. Wesley, recalled by the prosecution, delwed that she ever said to either Mrs, Tug- well or her son Cyril, in her house, "I have a tickler for the old ice erfeam man, and I will prevent him preaching on Sunday. Not that that will be much of a loss to the commu- nity. The Lord Chief Justice, in summing up, said that if the evidence for the defence were true, this was one of the most iniquitous, gross, and abominable con- spiiacies on the part of the police ever sug- gested, and it passed anything in his experi- ence of suggested police, misconduct. The jury retired for a few moments, and on their return found Mrs. Tugwell guilty on all counts in the indictment. Mrs. Tugwell: I can only say that you have convicted an innocent woman this day. The Lord Chief I Justice: The gravity of the thing is more than 1 can OXIlress. You have been convicted on the clearest possible evidence of publishing wicked and grossly improper lihels on innocent people. This has gone on for a, series of months, if not years. You have charged, a perfectly inno- cent woman with these libels, of which I have no doubt .you yourself arc the author. Sentence was then passed as stated above.
....---, MANY HOLIDAY ACCIDENTS.…
MANY HOLIDAY ACCIDENTS. On the whole the August holiday was not pi*« lific of accidents, and there were fewer bathing fatalities than, usual. Several lives were, however, lost, and there were a num- ber of minor accidents. Driver Ernest. Thun hell, nineteen, of Ilford, was killed ou Sunday at Copdock (Sutfolk) while on his way to camp, with his unit. The horses of his waggon hecom- ing restive, Dumbell sprang to their heads, but was crushed between his own and another waggon. Thomas Edward Walton j a Littlecoates youth, aged nineteen. was drowned at Grimsby on Monday. Accompanied by his brother, he- went for a SWillI in the Alex- andra Dock, and was seized with cramp. While helpless he was di^iwn beneath a huge tirn her raft by the undercurrent. Heedless of the danger, the brother dived re- peatedly" to the drowning youth's aid, but was unable to ctrcct a rescue. William Rossall, fifty-four, a tile maker's labourer, of Kirkhatn, employed by the Earl of Derby, left his home on Saturday evening saving he was going for a walk to the g bottom of the street, and would be back in a few minutes. Tie was not seen alive again, and on Monday his body was found floating in a pit at Trealce. liow lie came in the water is not knowp. While bathing at Scarborough on Monday Miss Dora Matthews, of Newton-road, Bir- mingham, collapsed and was in great danger, when another lady went to her rescue and brought her out of the water. She recovered after treatment. A little boy named Calvert, aged four, of Scarborough, fell into the harbour. The cries of the Spectators attracted the atten- tion of a Scotch fisherman, a member of the crew of a herring, boat, and, without hesita- tion, the man jumped into the harbour and rescued the boy. As lr. Holberry Mensforrh, of Stretford, was drivingh is motor-car down Walton Brow, Preston, on Monday, a schoolboy, named Robert Briudfc, aged seven, ran im- mediately in front of the ear and was knocked down. He was picked up uncon- scious, and lies in a critical condition. Mr. Charles William Fox, a Loudon stone- mason, while visiting Scarborough, on Mon- day slipped dowlI tlw southern slopes of Scarborough Castle Hill into the "Dykes," and broke hte right thigh. He WM conveyed to the hospital.

PROVED AN ALIBI. Albert Baggs, a reservist of the Royal Sussex Regiment, who llas been in custody for a week charged, on suspicion, with the murder of a man at Blind-ley Heath, was brought up at Oxted on remand and discharged, the prosecu- tion stating that he Itad established an alibi. Mr. L. S. Holmes, who appeared for the Director of Public Prosecutions, said that when apprehended, the prisoner accounted for a black eye and blood on his clothes by saying he had had a tight. This had been found to be correct. The murdered man is now believed to be Albert Pinch, of Tunbridge Wells. Mr. Pinch, sen., who is close upon ninety, has identified the remains by a photograph and the fact' that- he has a heart tattooed on his chest.

Rescue from Drowning at Trefynant.
Rescue from Drowning at Trefynant. As Mr T. E. Cuffin was returning from work at Penybont along the Shropshire Union Canal at Trefynant on Saturday afternoon, he had to cross a bridge which spanned the canal. Whilst crossing- he looked over the bridge and saw a little child floating in the canal. He rushed down the bank and plunged into the wa- ter, which, at this point, is about five feet deep, and succeeded in getting the child out. The child, who is the son of Mr C. Berry, Trefynant, is between two and three years of age. He was uncon- scious, and to all appearance life was ex- tinct, but Cuffin, with the assistance of others, who had by this time arrived on the scene, applied artificial respiration, and after some twenty minutes, signs of life were seen. Dr MacDonald was soon called, and completed the work of restora- tion, and we are glad to say the child is none the worse for its experience.
iPolitical Education in Wales.
i Political Education in Wales. I MR HERBERT LEWIS, M.P. ON THE POLITICAL PHASE. Writing to the president of the Holy- well Liberal Association, on the occasion of the opening of a new Liberal Club at Holywell, Mr J Herbert Lewis, M.P. says We are now passing through a peace- ful phase in the political life of the country, and for my part I only wish we could by agreement have a close time in party politics for a reasonable part of ev- ery year but the lull, after all, is tem- porary only. The fight has to be carried on the causes for which the Liberal par- ty stand remain constitutional reforms and religious equality have to be achiev- ed, social reform furthered, Free Trade maintained. I feel sure the club will be a pleasant place of recreation for the young Liberals of Holywell, but I trust it will be much more-I hope it will be a real school of politics. The number of problems that arise from the complexity of our modern social life demand a con- tinually improving equipment of informa- tion, and that can best be furnished by a club which contains a good political lib- rary. It would be well for each young I member of the club to master some sec- tion of the political field and make it his own. These are truly the formidable ¡ men in debate. I

The Chancellor and his Brother. I In proposing the health of his brother, Mr William George, and his bride on their marriage on Monday, the Chancellor of the Exchequer referred in a happy vein j to their boyhood days forty years ago. William once hit him in the eye, which was still marked. His brother had now joined the Unionist party, yet it was a union of hearts and affections, j In responding, Mr William George, who was equally, said he might regard himself as a man of mark.
