Mr. Rugih Watt, formerly a. member of the Rouee of Oamimons, was brought up on rwnaiwi to-day (before Mr. Kenneiy) at Marlborough street Police court charged with incitement to murder.

Mr. Prelie Palmer, who appeared for the defence, sELid that if the fairy tale put for- ward by the prosecution were true he would be defending not a criminal but a lunatic. Mr. Watt maintained that there was not a shadow of foundation for the charges, and he had a complete answer, which, however, he would defer until a later stage of the caM.

iBEYOND THE VEIL I -
iBEYOND THE VEIL Archdeacon's Amazing Story ii ABOUT WORLD OF SPIRITS Archdeacon Colley, rector of Stockton, near Rugby, will make a sensation at the Church Congress, at Weymouth, next month by mov- ing the appointment of a committee repre- eentative of the Established Church to inquire into psychical phenomena,. Archdeacon Colley haa embodied hia spiritualistio experiences of thirty-three years in an address, which is to be published in three languages, and which is based upon a dia.ry in which he hae recorded carefully various supeinatural visitations. My object," said Archdeacon Colley in an interview with a press representative yester- day, is to explain what I hold strongly- that there is scientific proof of life beyond the grave. Religionists say that we want no proof, but I wish to show that it is a truth that does not depend npon belief, article or creed, but on proof positive—ocular, auditory, and taaigible-that these spirit people of whom I speak have been seen, heard, and touched by me. I give dates for all the circumstances, aind chapter and verse." Facts in Support I In one instance the archdeacon avers that he and four friends were sitting with a medium when the form of a little child was discerned on the medium's left. The child was seen in the full gaslight, pursed her mouth to receive kisses, spoke, and, on the instructions of the medium, fetched articles from different parts of the room. Eventually an ornament on the mantel- piece was indicated. As the little girl went forward the fire biassed up with scorching heat, and she drew back in alarm. Involuntarily the archdeacon asked Did it barn you, my dear?" and the reply ca,me back through the medium, Yes, I felt it." Another spirit form called into realisation through a medium was that of an Egyptian. He was tail, walked about the room, and finally sat by the side of the archdeacon, -who examined him through a Stanhope lens closely, observing the frontal ornament of the turban. As he passed his fingers over it, it seemed to melt away. Altogether the Egyptian remained visible for an hour, and was induced under the in- fluence of the medium to write on the back of Archdeacon Colley's card. For this a pencil was rlaccd near him. The pencil was held at the same angle as a stylus, and the witing ran from right to left. Coptic Writing I Subsequently the card nvas forwarded to the authorities of the British Museum, and the writing was indentified as coptic. Facsimiles have been prepared, which the archdeacon will produce at the congress. The wrchdeacon assigns the wedding which took place last July between his son, Lieu- tenant Colley, and an Irieh girl to a recent visitation. While r-aying p chance call in London Lieutenant Colley was told that a lady wished to see him. He was confronted with a medium, a total stranger, who told him that the spirit of his dead mother wished to com- municate with him. A message in a faint voice was dictated by the spirit through the medium, the meaning of which was beyond the lieutenaait's comprehension. Presently another Ad strange spirit spoke and delivered a message, which proved after- wards to concern a lady in Ireland. Again the first spirit spoke, and intimated that the stranger was the mother of the lieu- tenant's future wife, and that his marriage had been arranged. Quite sceptically the officer informed his father of his amazing experience, and the archdeacon understood the first message as a reference to an incident of his early married life. Met His Bride I Eventually, while delivering the message to the Irieh lady, though still incredulous, the lieutenant became acquainted with the girl, who became his bride a little over two months ago. During a pastoral visitation Archdeacon Colley came across an instance only a few days ago, in which a widow who was on her deathbed talked aloud for some time with her husband, whose spirit, she declared, was in the room. "I do not believe in pressing these things before unbelievers" said the archdeacon, because life is too short for controversy, and, as someone has said, controversy equalisee wise men and fools. What I have learnt I have iearnt by experience and patient experiment, and by constant fasting. I have not been afraid to imperil my position by my assertions in favour of spiritualistic beliefs. It has been borne in upon me that I ought to speak, and I shall not cease to claim that these manifestations should be received as being just as credible as Bible incidents, in which angels appeared to men. There are many things which must be left to the scientists rather than the Church. I am ready to be cross-examined, a.nd I want inquiry to be made." Archdeaoon Colley graduated at Magdalen College, Oxford, in 1869. He has been a curate at Coventry, morning lecturer at St. Anne's, Wandsworth, and has worked in Portsmouth. He spent some years in Natal, and was appointed rector of Stockton in 1901.
RUMOURED GEKMAN COAL COMBINE…

General Oranovsky. the Russian plenipo- tentiary, accompanied by his suite, returned here at eight o'clock this morning having signed with General Fukushima, the Japanese plenipotentiary, at seven o'clock yesterday evening on an open plain near Shahot-zu an armistice protocol after negotiations lasting for nine consecutive hours. POW-WOW ON THE GRASS [Press Association Special Service.] KOCHIATIEN, Thursday. Owing to the variance in Russian and Japa- nese time, also to the exact spot of the meet- ing being undefined, General Oranovsky arrived last at the scene of the conference. General Fukuhima, with Colonel Tanaka, Captain Tananka, and professors of inter- national law, Ariga and Soyzi, escorted by a guaTll of fifty men, had already arrived under a, fla.g of truce. The two generals dismounted and exchanged greetings at ten o'clock. The discussion of the conditions immediately began, bcth sides frequently .retiring fifty paces for the purpose of private discussions. Owing to the country at the spot being deserted, all houses having been destroyed, and to its being covered with rank grass, the conference, which -was of long duration, frequently assumed the character of a pow-wow, the tired officers sitting down on the gra. The armistic, which takes effect on the 16th inst,, agrees to the abolition of all hos- tile or inimical acts, and establishes a neutral zone, four kilometres wide, between the two armies. Sboliotzu, on the railway, is to be in the middle of this zone, and maps showing the zone are to be exchanged. Only civilians are to enter the neutral zone, and communica- tion between the two armies is to be only by the Shahotzu road. Furthermore, special naval envoys a.re to .meet in a bay near Vladivostok, one ship of each nation conveying them, and establish an armistice and fix a neutral zone on sea. The armistice to be concluded on the borders of Korea. is to be arranged by separate negotiation between the local com- manders on similar terms.

ANARCHISTS' --TRIAL
ANARCHISTS' TRIAL INDICTED AT THE OLD BAILEY 11s. At the Old BaHE<ý.tod'a.y Adolfe Antonelli a.nd Fracesco Barberi, Italians, were indicied -Â.'ll't.ouelli for printing and publishing a certain paper in the Itiaiian language, intended to justify assassination and murder, and endeavouring to incite evil-dispoeed persons to commit murder, and encouraging persons to nuird-er the Sovereigns and Fulcra of Europe, At.; and Barberi for aiding and abetting the commisEion of tlie eaid mis- demeanour. Both men pleaded not guilty. Mr. Muir opened the case at some length. He said that the paper was published by a group of alleged Anarchists, and t'here was an actual incitement to murder the Rulers in Europe, and in particular the present King of I't'aly. The publication which Antonelli was charged with publishing glori- fied the action of Bresci, the assassin of King Humbert, a.nd encouraged other persons to emulate his example. On t-he paper was printed in small [type, "The future are thought and dynamite." The general tone or the publication was that the working classes were ground down by the cia-piltaliate Rnd leisured classes, that the poor were. shot rdown by the eokiiers, and that eld people were allowed to die <4 starvation. The remedy for these alleged grievances, it was suggested, should be something more effec- tive than cobble stones, that arms and explo- sives should be procured by the people, who should ba taught by word and example when iand how to employ them in the cause of revolution. Referring to the present King of Ita/iy, the document said:— Let the Monarchs and thieves of Savoy The removed, and with them also fail t'he Monarchs of other states. Let us begin by 'throwing down the first obstacle, and when. we have overthrown and trodden under loot the altars, then we gh-all think of the rest. Dynamite Should play an important .mr,t in the work of destruction. Evidence was then called. According to the police, Auto-nelli sta;t,ed t-hat. 1,000 co-pies of the paper wtere distributed among Anarchists. (Proceeding.)
iChoirs Festival. I
Choirs Festival. I EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE OF "THE APOSTLES." [FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.] WORCESTER, Thursday Evening. The Apostles drew an immense congrega- tion to Worcester Cathedral this morning. Sir. Edward El gar himself conducted the work, which had hitherto not been heard in Worcester. The Apostles" is said to be regarded by Sir Edward Elgar as his chef d'eeuvre, not merely by reason of its textual importance, but from its musical aspect as well. The performance was timed to begin at 10.30, but it was some twenty minutes later before it commenced, owing to the influx of late comers and the unsatisfactory seating arrangeiaente. Sir Edward Elgar, like many other composers, does not make the beet conductor of his own works. The Apostles depends even more than "The Dream" upon ideal acoustic conditions for a just appre- ciation of its beauties, no less than on the prccisa equation of each individual hearer. In a building like Worcester Cathedral it has been abundantly proved that what has sounded crude in some positions has seemed most effective to critical listeners in other paFtB cf the b'lilding. So frequently unsatie- factory was the first part of the morning s work that the determination to gauge the second part from some other position happily resulted in largely removing earlier impres- sions, though there still remained room for the vocal qualities and clearness of precision. The whole composition suggests a reverie or soliloquy, with nothing in the way of •genuine equipoise, for, skilful and complex though the final Heaven." section is, it cannot be said to compensate for the two hours of nefleotive orchestral and vocal mixture preceding it. Happily, the orches- tration. is the paramount feature, and many are the inspiring and convincing movements adorning the compositdou, even though they belong to a species of musical sestheticism not associated with the solid and devotional grandeur of the older oratorios. The soloists were Madame Albani, in the dual parte of the Virgin Mary and the Angel; Miss Muriel Foeter as Ma.ry Magdalene; Mr. John Coates as St. John; Mr. William Higley as St. Peter, Mr. Plunket G-reene as Judae, and Mr. Dalton Baker as Jesus. More reveren,t treatment could not have been desired, each of the artiste being evidently alive to the solemnity of the occasions. Mr. Dalton Baker samg the Saviour music with con- spicuous discretion, and a. more contrite expression of the Magdalene's music than 1ha.t given by Miss Muriel Foster would be ,impossible. Although unanimity of pitch was not always heard, a.nd a. little unsteadiness I occasionally prevailed, the chorus came j through moat. creditably. But The Apostles" is pre-eminently an orchestral 1 creation, ao that it was well to find its many I fine qualities in that direction superbly realised by the orchestra. In the matter of atmosphere," the whole performance was,, indeed, irreproachable, and it would, indeed, J be a pity if such a. work eventually became I. divorced from the spiritual environment, afforded by the cathedral. I The evening performance of the "Elijah" I gained for Mies Agnes Nicholls the one bril- lia.nt success of the week. "Hear ye Israel," by common consent, constitutes a very fair I -soprano teH. not solely by reason of its glowing, melodious, and comprehensive ra,uge, I but for the demands it makes in the domain of temperment. With a little reservation iu the form of a protest against Miss NicholLs's habit of investing certain vowels with a double sound, her delivery of the number was worthy of the highest admiration. Indeed, I cannot re-call having heard a more beautiful piece of vocalism, especially in the second movement. The oratorio is so full of independently attractive matter in every direction, save, perhaps, for the orchestra, that detailed comment is, happily, super- fluous. Miss Muriel Foster, Mr. Andrew BLack, and Mr. William Green each in turn rivetted the attention, the great choruses being likewise given with the easy vigour which comes from whole-hearted application to a. work. The performance may fairly be called the most energising of the festival.

I __STRIKER STRUCK.
I STRIKER STRUCK. —.———— -0 ————— Sidelights on Dry Dock Dispute CHARGE OF ASSAULT AT BARRY A sequel of the recent dock labourers' dis- pute was heard this morning (before Mr. J. Duncan and Mr. C. A. Heywood) at Barry Police-court, Henry Richards, a labourer, of 49, George-street, being summoned by Alfred Hurford, 12, Richard-street, for a.ssault. Tlr. J. A. Hughes, solicitor, Barry, appeared for the complainant, and Mr. Evaa Davies, eolici- tor, Cardiff, defended. Mr. Davies admitted a technical offence, but be did not know whether it was worth while going into all the minor details lead- ing up to the assault. On the other hand, Mr. Hughes was not pre- pared to admit that it was a technical assault, and opened the case at &ome length. Both men, he said, had worked together for eleven years at the Barry Graving Dock. Fire weeks ago a strike took place, in which the dock labourers were involved. Richards and Hurford were elected on the strike committee, on which both served till last Tuesday week, when it was reported to the committee, in the presence of both men, that a, deputation of the labourers' Union had been to Swansea to eee Mr. Harry Williams, the general secre- tary, who informed the deputation that there would be no strike pay for the men that work. This, his client contended at the time, V,r., z a fact which should be made known to the men. maintaining that it was not fair to keep it from them. Hurford's action, Mr. Hughes ventured to say, was a Straightforward and Honest one. The committee, however, decided not to tell the men. whereupon Hurford resigned hie seat on the committea. and returned to work on the following Tuesday, the employers being willing all the time to take the men on strike back. Hurford was coming from work on Friday evening, and walked down Holton-road in his working clothes ÍJ1 com- pany with another man. Richards crossed over to complainant, and told him his prin- ciples were BE black as his face, and followed up the remark by calling him a blac.kleg, and struck him in the face, bruising his lip and breaking a tooth.

Pembroke Dockyard.I
Pembroke Dockyard. I ADMIRALTY'S POLICY OF 11 ECONOMY. Mr. Randle Main waring, the Conservative and U nio n ist candidate for Pembroke Boroughs, who has been residing in Tenby for some weeks past, met the members of the Tenby Conservative Club and delivered an address on current political topics. Mr. C. W. R. Stokes was in the chair, and the atten- dance was well representative of the party in Tenby. In his address Mr. Maihwaring dealt with a matter which is now agitating the constituency, namely, the discharge of work- men from Pembroke Dockyard. He said he was not one of those people who thought that, because a dockyard happened to be in the constituency, that the whole fortunes of the eonstitueucy must be dictated to by the dockyard. Personally, he thought that a great mistake, and he should use the same words were he speaking in Pembroke Dock. He respected the people who laboured in the dockyard, but it must not be forgotten that they ivere only a portion of that very double- barrelled electorate, the Pembroke and Haverfordwest Boroughs, and, therefore, although, IL8 friends a.nd neighbours, they sympathised with them in their trouble, still, it was of no use to say because things were going against them as a party in Pembroke Dock that they should put their hands in their pockets and their tails between their legs and say it was of no use to go on fight- ing for their cause in these boroughs. (Applause.) There was no smoke without fire, but let them see what was the fire that caused the smoke. If there had been one thing that the Radicals had consistently abueed their party for it was for the increased expenditure on naval works. As he had said before in Ten by, he looked upon our uaval expenditure as the finest scheme of insurance for the protection of the Empire that had ever been devised; but the. Radicals did not take it that way. They had been for economy at the risk of efficiency, but directly the Government began the smallest economies -and the discharges at Pembroke Dock were due to nothing else than the desire for economy who did they find screaming out for larger expenditure than their old friend the Radical, who had before shouted himself hoarse for retrenchment? The discharges at Pembroke Dock touched them in this con- stituency, but it must be remembered that, while he was standing there deploring those discharges, other Conservative candidates in different parts of England were standing up among their friends glorifying in the fact that under a Conservative administration the Admiralty had tried their best to put an end to the wasteful policy which put five men to do work which could be successfully per- formed by four. In the business world, if a ma.n was found doing the work which might be done by a boy, that man was discharged and a good strong boy put in his place. And when their Radical friends were telling them that the Conservative Government were taking bread out. of the mouths of the labourers at Pembroke Dockyard they must remember this fact. that for the last twelve years the Radicals had bpen screaming for retrenchment, and as soou as they got a. small bit of retrenchment which touched their own pocket6 or the pockets of their friends they began to scream out against it. He wished he had good news for Pembroke Dockyard, but he could only say that he conscientiously believed the period of discharges was as nearly over as it could be. a,nd he earnestly hoped—and had some reason for hoping—that when discharges took place next year the Admiralty would let Pembroke Dock a", much alonp a." possible, because he believed, by the mere geographi- cal position of Pembroke Dock, with its splen- did haven, and with the amount of money the Admiralty had spent, that they were not going to spoil the ship for a ha'porth of tar. and be thought they might once more look forward to the time when Pembroke Dock would be happy and prosperous again. (Applause.) Mr. South-wood Jones, chairman of the Monmouthshire Conservative Association, also addressed the meeting, and a. vote of thanks to the speakers was enthusiastically carried.

- -IFIRES AT -NEWPORT I
I FIRES AT NEWPORT I VIPOND'S WHARF DESTROYED I Messrs. Vipond's shipping wharf at Newport was practically destroyed by fire this morn- ing. The fire was first discovered at four a.m. by William Pring while coming out of the hold of the schooner Express. He at once raised the alarm, and 21 members of the brigade, under Captain Lyne and Lieutenant Boucher, were soon on the spot. When they arrived at the docks they found that the upper pari, of the shipping stage was well ablaze. Difficulty was at first experienced in coping with the fiames owing to the low pres- si re of water, but after connecting a hose to the hydrant on the Gloucester whaii they soon got, the fire under control. A great portion of the roof was burnt down, together -vit,h the weighing-house, and the brigade left at 4.45 a.m. A lamp was kept burning on the stage overnight, and it is believed tha-t the wind blew the flame against the woodwork, thus setting fire to the wharf. About nine o'clock the brigade were again called out to an outbreak of fire at Messrs. Phillips and Sons' extensive brewery premises in Dock-street. Fortunately the fire was con- fined to the grain-drying kiln, and with a. plentiful supply of water available the brigade got the fire under within half an hour without, any serious damage being done to the premises. The overheating of the kilu was responsible for the outbreak.
TOOK OXALIC ACID
TOOK OXALIC ACID I NEWPORT UIRL'S RASH ACT Mr. 51. Roberts-Jones, the coroner for South Monmouthshire, and a jury held 3.11 inquiry at the Greyhound Inn, Cliristcburch, near Newport, this afternoon into the di,-tresingl circumstances attending the death of Lilian Sophia Parker, a dressmaker, of good appear- ance, and residing with her parents at Glen Ebbw, Penylan, Christchurch, who died from the effects of oxalic acid poisoning early on Wednesday morning. Dr. Patrick M'Ginn, Maindee, intimated that he had attended the girl for a growth on the too. He was called to see her on Tuesday night about 11.30. She WR8 then in a state of collapse. Her symptoms were consistent with oxalic add poisoning. The poison was of a form of salt which the must have swallowed in a soft condition, and than drank water on the top of it. The salt was easily dissolved in water. Antidotes were adminis- tered but they were of no use as the poison was rapidly absorbed and would corrode the tissues. The grief-striken father, Robert Parker, a. clerk, stated that the girl was at times of hot temper and headstrong disposition, and did not like to be repremanded. She was supposed to have beein in business last week at Messrs. Reynolds and Co., drayers, but they had heard afterwards that, owing to Blockings of trade, the head-dressmaker had told her she might take I A Week or Two at Home I The deceased had not told them of this, but had apparently gone to business every day, returning home at her usual time at. ■nights. Witness had since her death found out that the girl had been staying a,t, a friend's house, a.nd that, although on 1,J::¡e previous nialht she had brought home what was purported to be her wages, she bad obtained the money by borrowing it from some friends. On Tuesday night witness and his wife had a conversation with the girl, and reprimanded her for what she had done. She sat down for a few minutes, and then tihe deceased asked her sister for a. box of ,m,a-t-ob,es, and went in'to the back. Hearing footsteps on the lawn and going down the ro^.d, he went a.fter the girl, and brought (her back. The deceased went into the front room with them and sat down. She sud- denly commenced to vomit, and at the sug- gestion of his wife wltnaes Went to Fetch Some Brandy They had then no idea that the girl had taken poison, and it was only during wit- ness's absence that the girl confessed to her mother that she had taken "some of the stuff with which Hilda usee to clean her hats. The girl had no occasion to take the poison. She was liked by everybody, and was on good terms with the girls in the work- room. The growth on her toe had given her a deal of trouble lately. The jury were satisfied that death was due to poison administered by herself whilst ill a state of temporary insanity, and returned a verdict accordingly. The jury showed their sympathy with the parenta by handing over their fees to them.
Primrose League.I
Primrose League. I GARDEN PARTY AT NEVILL- PARK. By the kind permission of the Marquess of Abergavenny, the members of the Hendre Habitation of the Primrose League, who have a devoted and energetic president in Lady Llangatrtock, were privileged on Thurs- day to hold an enjoyable garden-party and political demonstration in the charming grounds of Nevill Hall Park, Abergavenny. Ideal autumn weather favoured the func- tion, which was attended by a good sprink- ling of visitors from the neighbouring habi- tations, as well as the looal supporters of ,the league. The Marquess of Abergavenny was himself present to welcome the visitors, and, with the a^ss;stance of his agent, Mr. Gilbert Harris, conducted the more distin- guished visitors around his residence and grounds. The visitors included Lord and Lady Llangattcck. During an interval the party gathered together, and Lady Llangiattock presenlted badges to the qualifying knights and dames and special-service clasps to members of the executive a.nd wardens. Mr. H. J. Pettlfer, a delegate from the grand council of the league, delivered a speech on the political situation, stating that, unlike the Radical party, the Primrose League, which was proving a useful agency for the Conservative and Unionist party, did not have a fresh lot of principles every week. (Laughter and applause.) If there were any working men present that afternoon he would like them to ask their Radical friends what the Radical party had done for the working classes for the last twenty years. The Radi- cal party was nothing but a promising party, who had more leaders than followers. (Laugh- ter.) Their position was an invidious one, for they fully recognised that if they brought in a Home Rule Bill the country would turn them out—that ie, assuming they got in at all—(laughter)—and if they did pass such a measure the Irish would turn them out. (Laughter.) The Radicals found fault with the Conservatives not because they had done nothing, but because they had done too much. (Laughter.) He rather liked the passive resistors for their old-fashioned way. In the old days people did not pay in money, but allowed so many sheep and bullocks in dis- charge ot a debt, and the present-day passive registers were only emulating their ancestors' example by allowing chairs and pianos to be confiscated for debts. As long as the passive resieters did not object to the "collaring" why should they? (Lau,ht-er. Mr. A.A.Williams. J.P., Pontypool, moved a vote of thanks to the speaker, and Lady Llan- gattoek moved a vote of thanks to the Ifarquess of Abcrg-n venny for his kindnese In aHowing them the me of hiB grounds, and paid th.t it might he news to many to k: that the iiltr(lie-F. was one of the prime ju,vpr, and orgauisers of the Primrose Lea gue. The Marquess of Abergavenny, who was received with hearty cheers, said Lady Llan- gxttock had kindly referred to llj, connection with the Primrose League. The league was started in his hnuse in London over twenty .veirs ago, when he j.f1.o11gbrt. it was only him- plf. the late Lord Randolph Churchill, Lord Glenesk, and Sir Algernon Borthwick who were the instigators. The first few meetings were held in his hott^e, and since then tbe Primrose League had grown rapidly, until it had become a gigantic power in the politicftl wor!d. (Applause.) Continuing, the marquess said that in his opinion the time had come when the bucket of the old Conservative party was gradually sink- ing into the well. It had not yet. reached the bottom, but at the same time he had no hesitation in saying the time would shortly arrive when the old bucket would reach the bottom of the woll. And it was now their bonnden duty to do their utmost to see that nothing was left undone whorl the general election ojuiw* to smiapcirt fobfl Ovctftivtrtional •wty. CtojsAikW?.)

A WAYWARD WIFEI
A WAYWARD WIFE I A sad story of domestic unliappiness was told to the Slough magistrates yesterday dur- ing the bearing of an assault cape. The chief cause of the trouble was because Mrs. Elizabeth R-etffell, the wife of a Coin- ] brook farmer, persisted in walking out with f John Westaway, her cousin, in distinct I defiance of the wishes of her husband. I' 1 On one occasion Mr. Reffell sent a farm 1 hand out to watch his wife and her cousin, < but when the cousin discovered that they were being tracked he assaulted the man who ( carried out his master's wishes. i In the witness-box Westawny admitted receiving a letter from Mr. Re (fell's solicitors, as follows:— f Our client informs us that early in tbiL4 ] year you commenced paying attention to his wife, and ever since then you have < spent much time in her company, causing ] her to stay out late at night, sometimes 1 night after night up to any hour, and even < so late as twelve o'clock midnight. Our client has eomplaincd of this to his wife, and such complaints have come to your knowledge from your cousin. Last night (Sunday) our ciieut was out with bis wife Iwho. we have no doubt, was ( about to meet you by appointment, as she I ( much objected to her husband's presence), j and whilst he was walking on his own lajid t you suddenly appeared on his land and j most severely assaulted him, rendering it neoeesary for him to have hi& head surgi- cally bandaged by a medical man. < Continuing, the letter explained tlwrt he had better keep off t1 in fyUjrc- ) \vn £ xv&r.v so* ti!l" £1 Ctr4 l
