£100 CLAIMED. go- i I MR. WILLIAM COUTTS SUED BY LITTLE GIRL INJURED BY FALLlNC )KJUREO BY FALDHG IRUCK. I At Swansea. County Court to-day, be- fore his Honour Judge Bryn Roberts, and a jury, Mary O'Neill, a 13 vear-okl girl, claimed £ 100 damages from Mr. William Coutts, Swansea, in reepect of injuries alleged to have been received thHm' the iaiUnn on her of an adver-  î'hk. The aeciùent lHlPJ}{'ned 'JI1 J<<n? i:i"? Tlie.A November ?0. Mr: Vaushan Kdwa.rds represented plaintiff; Mr. Coutt& con- ducted his own defence. Mr. Edwards said that the little girl had been on a message for her mother and was on the way home, walking along the pa.vement when an advertising truck fell on her. Her leg was broken above the ankle and .she wa.s removed, first to the hospital, iu Mr. Coutts' car, and afterwards home, where she remained for live weeks with her leg in Piaster of Paris. Ever since that time the girl complained of pains in the leg, and ha,* QSily been able to walk with a limp. They attributed to defendant two acts of negligence (1) thyt tho truck was defective in construction (and, in this connection he pointed out that the boards of the truck represented a superficial area of 78ft.) and (2) that the truck had been left unattended. He understood Mr. Coutts would con- tend there was no negligence; that the accident was caused by circumstances over which his servant had no control— what is known in law as an act of God. Mary O'Neill supported this state- ment. Truck Unattended, I David John Welsh, labourer, Emma- street, Swansea, ,?ild the truck had stood in a gutter near the Palace. He watched the truck for five minutes, and no one was in charge of it. during that time. Mr. Coutts: W as the wind very strong?- The wind had gone down. No one pushed the truck over? —No. You don't remember that it was a very windy day? How long were you wa tch i n g ? Five minutes. And during that, five minutes you saw no one at all near the truck ?-N o. Alf. Holmes, butcher, Prince of Wales-road, who has a shop directly opposite the Palace, and Thomas W. Rees, tramway inspector, also gave evidence. Jury inspect Truck. I At -the adjournment for In ucn -tlip Judge informed the jury that they cou ld view the advertisement truck in the Guildhall Yard. Hannah O'Neill, mother of the little girl, Dr. Da-vies, Prince of Wale-sroad (to whom the girl was carried), gave evidence., Mr. Fletcher, coach builder, gave measurements of the advertisement truck. He thought that if the wheels were placed outside the hoard instead of inside, the truck would he safe. As they were, placed close together on the inside, the truck was liable to be blown over. A Bent Leg. I Dr. W. Griffiths, who had examined the girl last week, found that both legs of the bone had been fractured. They had Hrmty united in a faulty position, so that the leg was bent outwards from the ,c?at of the fracture, and there was considerable weakness i of the leg, and probably pain. The girl complained of pain and weakness. Mr. Edwards: What do you say as to the future of the leg? Witness: Being a growing child, I think that with suitable apparatus the leg may become straight. She re- quires a leather socyet for the leg and outside steel supports. Then she may recover. If she doesn't, what will be necessary? -it will be necessary for her to under- go an operation. In what time ?--In about a year. Henry Roderick Lewis, a native of the West Indies, who had been in charge of the truck, said the day had been a very rough one, and that the truck was blown over with a gust of I wind while he sheltered from the rain. Had he been by the cart, he would prob- ably have been blown over along with the truck. If be had a s:mjlar charge to-morrow ,he could not possibly bel; more careful than he had been that day. By Mr. Edwards: The truck had on three or four oc- casion-s been blown over. The jury retired to consider their verdict, which will be found in a later page.

THE ARMY. CORRESPONDENCE MADE PUBLIC. THE WAR MINISTER'S MEMORANDUM. r- v f" • Jl ?, I 1. c:- 4 ARMY CRONCIL'S INSTRUCTORS TO II GENERAL PAGET. I BRIGADIER'S LETTER TO THE ADJUTANT-I CENERAL. I A SOLDIER'S RIQHlt THE PRESERVATION OF LAW AND ORDER. As intimated by Colonel Seely, Secre- tary for War, in the House of Commons yesterday, a White Paper was issued to-day giving the correspondence re-, lating to the recent events in the Irish Command. The document is as follows: Memorandum of an interview between the Secretary of State for War and the General 0timers Commanding-in-Chief, December 17th, 1913. I saw the General Officers Command- ing-in-Chiet on the IGt:1 December, aoiu made them the following statemekt with reference to the duty of soldiers when the possibility of resignations of their commissions was brought to my notice: I first dealt with the legal question. The law clearly lays down that a soldier is entitled to obey an order to shoot, only if that order is reasonable uncier the circumstances. No one, from a general officer to a private, is ,ent,itled to use more force than is required to maintain order and safety lite ttlid property. No I-CM shelter himself from- the civil law behind an order given by a superior if that order is, in fact, unreasonabl e and out- rageous. If, therefore, officers and men in the Army were led to believe that there was a possiblity that they might be called upon to take seme "itira^.x>as actioii- for instance, to massacre a demonstra- tion of Orangemen who were causing no danger to the lives of their neighbours— bad as were the effects on discipline in the Army, nevertheless it was true that they were in fact, and in law, justified in. their contemplated refusal to obey; but there never had been, and was not now, any intention of giving outrageous and illegal orders to the troups. The law would be respected, and must be obeyed. What had now to be faced was the possibility of action being re- quired by His Majesty's troops in supporting the civil power in pro- tecting life and property when the Irish police were unable to hold their own kttA-mptc, had been made to dis- suade the troops from obeying lawful orders given to them when acting in support of the cavil power. This amounted to a claim that officers and men could pick and choose between Law- ful and reasonable orders, saying that they would obey in one case &nd not in another. The Army had been quite steady during the past yepx. There had not been brought to the notiee of the authorities one single case of lack of dis- cipline m this respect. At the same time, in view of the statements in the Press, and elsewhere, it was well to make the position clear. I informed them that I should hold each of them individually responsible to seo that there was no conduct in their commands subversive of discipline. They could let it be clear iy understood that any such conduct would ;he dealt with forth- with under the King's Regulations, rr any officer should tender his resigna- tion they would -ask for his reasons, and if he indicated in his reply that he desired to chose which order he would obe.y I would at once submit to the King that the officer should be removed. (Initialled) J.S. The foregoing memorandum is fol- lowed by the appended letter: War Office, Whitehall, S.W. 14th March, 1914. Sir,—I am commanded by the Army Council to inform you that in consequ- ence of reports which have been re- ceived by His Majesty's Government that attempts may be made, in various parts of Ireland, by evil-disposed per- sons, to obtain possession of arms, ammunition and other stores, it is considered advisable that you should take special precautions for safeguarding depots and other places where arms or stores are kept, as you may think advisable. It appeals from the information received that Armah, Omagh, Carrickfergus. and Enniskillen arc insufficiently guarded, being speci- ally liable to attack. You will, there- fore, please lo take the necessary steps and report to this office. Officers in command of all barracks where guns, small arms, ammunition and other Government storRs are located should be wame<l that they will be held responsible that all measures to ensure the safety of the stores, etc., under their custody are taken, and that at no time should barracks or buildings be left without ade(luet4 armed guards. I am to add that although certain placer. I (Continued MI Pagft 2.) ¡

| RADIUM TREATMENT. SWANSEA HOSPITAL MANAGERS DECIDE TO ADOPT THE BEST METHOD. MAY COST OVER £ 1,000 At to-day's meeting of the Swansea Hospital Board of Managers Mr. W. F Brooks moved, "That it is desirable that steps be taken to provide for the treatment of patients by radium or radium emanation, and that a sub- committee be struck to enquire into and report upon the best means of obtain- ing this treatment." He said they were able to treat their patients outside with radium, an d they ought to be able to do it in the hospital. At present in the hospital they were absolutely unable to give to patients treatment by radium or radium emanation. He had con- suIted. with the medical superintendent at the Radium Institute as to the best means of providing radium treatment, or radium emanation treatment, to that Ivospital, and he was hoping to get the institute to supply them, if not gra- tuitously, on diminished terms, but although there was a gratuitous department in con- nection' with the institute. The people who were treated gratitously had to wait an enormous time. Dr. Edgar Reid seconded the resolu- tion It was stated that if the Board would lay out £ 1,000 or £ 1,500 on this matter, Mr. Hall would guarantee the interest of 4 per cent. The resolution was carried, and on the motion of the Rpv. H. E. Mander, a committee was appointed, consisting of, the Chairman of the Board, the Chair- man of Committees, Mr. Thomas Wil-I liams, and representatives of the 'I medical staff, including Mr. Brooks.

I THE COMMONS. I BITTER DEBATE ON THE ARMY I SITUATION. CHARGES AND COUNTER-CHARCES As reported in our late editions yes- terday, there was a lengthly discussion in the House of Commons last night on the military situation in Ireland, aad some strong words were used. Mr. Arthur Lee (C.) asked the Secre- tary for War whether it was a fact that Brigadier-General Gough had resumed his command after having received from the War Office a statement in writing to the effect that he and the troops serving under Mm would not be required to en- force upon Ulster the pr^-isions of the Home Rule Bill, and further, whether the General was at liberty to communi- cate his declaration of the War Office to the officers of his brigade, and whether the exact terms arranged with General Gough would now be communi- cated to the House of Commons. (Op- position cheers.) Mr. Ramsay Macdonald (Lab.) also asked if the Secretary for War's atten- tion had been drawn to a statement in that morning's Times" to the effect that General Gough had resumed com- mand of his brigade with the written assurance of the Government that the troops under his command would not be used to coerce the people of Ulster into the acceptance of the Home Rule Bill, and also a statement in the" Morning Post" that a document drawn up in accordance with General Gough's de- sire was signed by the Chief of the Genera l Staff and members of the Army Council. War Secretary's Rentv. Colonel Seely said he proposed to lay on the table, so that the necessary docu- ments might be in the hands of the Press to-morrow morning, all material written documents, which would make the whole position quite clear, so that there might he no further mystery about the whol^ e busings. Mr. J. Ward (L.): Can the right hon. gentleman not at least indicate now whether such statements as those con- tained in the question had any founda- tion in fa4,, Mr. R. Harcourt: Cannot we know at once whether this so-called assurance was given ? Partial Statement Undesirable. Colonel Seely: I am quite sure any partial statement now would be un- desirable. It is apparent that unless we were to deal with this matter by debate, it. would be impossible for me to give a true version—(Opposition pries of "Oh," and ironical laughter)- of -this (matter, in reply io questions which could not properly be understood by members of this House in the ab- sence of all material documents in the ca.se.. Mr. Arthur Lee asked that a further statement should be made during the discussion of the Arm- Votes later in the day, so that the House might have the opportunity of discussing the question. Premier's Promise. Mr. Asquith said there was no doubt force in what Mr. Lee had said, but 1 there would be an opportunity next day on the second reading of the Consoli- dated Fund Bill of going into the whole of this matter, and he was sure that everybody in every quarter of the House i would feel that the debate would be conducted under better conditions when all the material documents were printed. They saw some of the inconveniences the previous day. The documents would include all the written instructions given to Sir A. Paget. An Hon. Member: How about the oral instructions ? Mr. Asquith i How could the docu-I ment include oral instructions? (Laughter and Ministerial cheers.) The documents would include the material written instructions and the communi- cations which had passed in reference to the question. The House would then be in possession of all the facts so far as they were contained in writing, and any supplementary statement thab. j fCr ntlnued on Page 5.)
