I MUTHERN'SARM
MUTHERN'SARM WAS IT PROPERLY i'' TREATED ? I Closing Scenes of Triall The Cardiff doctors' oase, Southern v. Skyrme and Thomas, was resumed (before ¡ Mr. Justice Bigham) in the High Court Divi- sion to-day. The action is one in which Mr. T. A. Southern, a mining engineer, of Cardiff, claims damages against Dr. Lynn Thomas, C.B.. and Dr. E. H. Skyrme, of Cardiff, alleging that they were negligent in treating him for a broken arm, in July of 1904. Mr. E. H. Duke, K.C., and Mr. Bailhaohe (instructed by Mr. G. Forsdike) appeared for the plain- tiff; Mr. Rufus Isaacs, K.C., M.P.. Mr. S. T. Evans, K.C., M.P., and Mr. colom (instructed by Messrs. Hempsons, solicitors to the Medi- cal Defence Union) defended. The case had already been before the court :an six previous days, and on Saturday Mr. Rufus Isaacs commenced his address to the .jury, and now continued his argument. JURYMAN ABSENT The proceedings in the court were delayed I on account of the absence of one of the jurymen. Inquiries by telephone were maae by the judge's order, but the first attempt Was unsuooeissful. As the name "Duncan" j w- looked up in the directory, other mem- bers of the jury, however, recommended that the missing man's firm, the name of which was Ellis. should be oommunicated. with- rhis led to a successful call, and upon a massage being conveyed to the judge. his lordship said: I am told that this juryman Is in bed with a poisoned foot, and is at Uxbridge, so cannot come. I think he might have communicated with us. However, it raises the question whether you will go on with a jury of eleven. The master spoke to the judge, who said: I am told t-hat the absent juryman, has sent ía, certificate. Mr. Rufus Isaa-cs said that the parties had (agreed to go on with it. The Judge: I certainly think you are taking the proper course. Mr. Rufus Isaacs was about to resume his address to the jury when the Judge asked: Do you desire in any way to distinguish between the two defendants, because if you do I want you to address yourself to the Point. I Mr. Rufus Isaacs said that he was about to address himself to that point. He was w?>tarIng: for each of the defendants, but, .Whatever there was to be said, if there was nrtt *1?' evidence that affected one and notthe -th??r, it was only right that he should Point ? the difference.

M once that there were oomplicati he saId was nothing in the case as it had been m? tented so far to show that they would h? justified in saying that Dr. Skyrme had bv his negligence become responsible for tY present unfortunate condition of Mr Southern's arm. Referring to the evidence given by Mr. Sees as to the accident, learned counsel said that it would be idle to specu- late as to the precise moment at which the arm was broken, but they had heard from Professor Pepper that the same blow might have caused the fracture and the dislocation. The real point was whether the treatment of the arm was correct. He pointed out that he had been able to call as witnesses sur- geons who had had great experience-a life- long experience—in the Treatment of Fractures %ey had the evidence of Dr. Pepper and Dr. Battle for the plaintiff, and the evidence for the defendant entirely disagreed with them. The Judge: You must not exclude Dr. Rose, "'ho is a man of great eminence. ilr. Rufus Isaacs: Well, I thought that, in 1he circumstances, from some of the answers -be gave me, I was justified in not dealing ^ith the evidence that he gave. The Judge: I only thought that -you were studiously avoiding him. It is true that he Was labouring under some sort of annoyance Or vexation, but I do not think that we should dismiss his evidence upon that ground. We must remember that he is a man of great ^inenoe. Mr. Rufus Isaacs said that he was quite convinced that it was only for the moment .hat Mr. Rose was upset, for some reason )hat it wae difficult to explain. However, it :vas said that doctors differed, but how could it be said that the defendants were respon. sible when so many of the most eminent men of the day-men who stood at the head of their profession—said that the treatment adopted was right. It had been shown that there was no surgical skill in the world to get the bones in such a fracture in apposi- t" ex&ept by means of an operation— at was cutting the arm open and so dealing WIth the bone. There was otherwise no means of controlling the email upper frag- ment of the bones.

Mr., Duke: Three guineas. M. Rufus Isaacs next dealt with the sug- gestion that an operation should have been performed. If that were persisted in, he said, there could be no complaint against Dr. Lynn Thomas. At the outset he told the plaintiff, that some surgeons would perform an operation, but that he did not agree in this <??, and would not undertake. Noth- ing could have' been more fair. It left plain- ?,? so elsewhere, but the learned counsel no ti ce cl th?t no one had been anxious to do it Mr ^86* for instance, agreed with Pro- fessor PEDD., that he would not urge such .%n OPeratiojfi Mr. Rose is quite clear Stuhat he AvOuld (to It. but would not urge, and the attach to su??t?? know what meaning to ,$tt,a,ch to such a- lmuMStMnC4eg.

That was a ve ontrol st?te of things to d?l wIth. 'The evidence' a? to the dagger of 9-9-ne ail(j tr?tm?t on that account was a.'Il'd the eive that the defendant adopted O<:IInClu- The Only Safe Course under the circumstances. -Uea-r^ied next turned lattention to the evraepce deal- in? w<th the possibility or impossibility getting an apposition of the arm. There was m n?re?ment th= this could not have bMn < done, and even if the plaintiff had been operated upon and the bone brok- ag?a,in, it w<>Wd a?a?n be impossible to S^t a Proper apposition and maintain it.

They ? eym- -NX??? .i?'?? -??M?r m t!MCMa. ha had been seized of the idea from some perfunctory study that something more might have been done for him. He was pos- sessed of that idea to such an extent that he had brought this act-ion, not realising that certainly, so far as some of the symptoms were concerned, he could not be the best judge. Had these two gentlemen, of admittedly distinguished career, suddenly and completely lost their skill and their care of the patient? It was known that Dr. Skyrme attended him, not as a man who stayed two minutes and then went away, but as a man who at the very first interview stayed and did all he could for three hours and a quarter. And why should Dr. Lynn Thomas, who had achieved such eminence, have become negligent all at 'once in this case? One oouki understand such charges in cases where the surgeons were not competent, but in t-hi.. case they had two men well versed in the science of their profession. He thought they had cleared themselves in the fullest possible manner. MR DUKE'S REPLY Mr. Duke then commenced his speech for the plaintiff. After the skilful mental exercise conducted in the effort to lead the jury away from the substance of the facts of the case he was afraid that the jury would be a little disappointed to be brought bMk to the facts and the allegations and the evidence in the case. So long as experts dealt with the case upon false and mistaken and incomplete assumptions they were unable to deal with the true state of it. He would not say that Dr. Skyrme or ajiyone else Should be made responsible for every mistake he made; but, he said, in this case the fault was that Dr. Skyrme had made a mistake, and never got away from it. Learned counsel then recapitulated the facts of the accident, and the treatment by the aoctors. In the flivt place, Dr Skyrme made the mistake that all the text books warned him against when he diagnoised a dislocation. They had been told that Dr. Skyrme had applied a certain treatment, and that the treatment wae proper for dis- location. It was true that. he said that it was also the proper treatment for a broken arm, but that missing was all the evidence of anything having been done to set the arm. No wonder it took Mr. Rufus Isaacs an hour and a half to explain the circum- stances in which his clients had placed him. It was a case in which it was impossible to make a mistake if proper care had been taken. But what came home to Dr. Skyrme was that he applied treatment recommended for and proper for dislocation and never departed from it. To try to explain that away in the manner they had heard only showed the heights to which-advocacy might soar. Whatever mistake Dry Skyrme might make the plaintiff knew that the Arm Had Not Been Set, and that is why he suggested in his well- grou'nded anxiety—well-grounded when they remembered the terrible blunder that had been made. That was why he suggested that a second opinion should be taken. I When Dr. Lynn Thomas arrived and at once commenced his examination his first remark was, "Oh, there is crepitus." That was a perfectly natural statement when <?ey con-¡ 8idered that there had been no previous con- sultation. However, he asked what treat- ment Dr. Skyrme proposed, and by some oversight he replied, that is quite right," although tho treatment was admit- tedly what would be proper for dislocation. One of the witnesses for the defence had admitted that the bone had been allowed to join in a bad position. They were told that Dr. Skyrme had pulled the plaintiff's arm. He might just as wetl have pulled his leg-daughter)- or ms e—' 1-aughter)—o>t an/ rate, that would not Lave ben playing an ^xtraord™aJ*^ prank with the plaintiff's arm. Plaintl5. had examined by Professor Pepper and Mr. Wm. Pvo?, with another surgeon who by??? means, had got into ^mmumcation with the Medical Defence Union, and who afterwards said that he would not 1°^ P although he concurred with Professor P-pper and Mr. Rose. What amazed him was that Mrgeons had not been called for the  to say that the practice of setting broken bones had been abolished. (Laughter. ) How- ever, they had not been called to go so far as that. He thought that what had happenea was due partly to the want of a p-per  sulfation between the two Surgeons. ^r- Skyrme aDPlied the wrong treatment, and Dr. Thomas failed to either discover or to connec it. Dr. Skyrme went in blind inattention, not having d?alt with the fracture in the first instance, and it wa? riot until the end of Ju'?V. when pJawtl1f ¡¡ arm was as big a6 his t-hir,g, tb._I,t he 'became alarmed, and weia to "bonias to ?ave an X-ray photo t aikl en. The ground upon which plain asked for d?ma?es was that he 'had been tl?lat-I in a manner that was contrary to all known praetwe. His arm had mended in the place where the accident had left it. to damages they should remember that Plaintiff was maimed in the use of his right arm. When they remembered that he wal di-bled in business and in pleasure for every hour of his life, and was condemned to go through life with his arm so disabled, they would say what they omght to give to man who had so suffered through the absenœ of the exercise of proper skill and attention. Mr. Dote then concluded his addree6 and the court adjourned for lunch. JUDGE'S SUMMING UP. The Judge, in summing UP, said that he hoped that the jury would return a verdiot, and not break up, as the jury in the pre- vious trial, without arriving at a. conclusion. In this opinion, the case had taken too long, but one of the beneficial results of long con- sideration by the jury and by counsel was that he was relieved from dealing with it at any great length. The jury should take care that they were not swayed by sympathy on either side. It was essentially a oase for the jury. There was some law in it, but not very much. What they had to consider primarily was that the plaintiff must satisfy the jury that the defendants had failed to bring to the case the care and skill that might reasonably be expected from them, and that by reason of that failure he had suffered. The defendants belonged to a special profession. Anybody who belonged to a special profession was bound to bring to the performance of his task reasonable skill. If a person went to a. young mail of 22, or 23, who had just set up in a country village, he would not exyect the s'ame treatment as if he wont to a man of greater experience. Now, if he went to a man with a big practice who was hurried, could he expect the same care as if he went to one who had plenty of time? He had already remarked that the defendants would not be liable for merely making a mistake in judgment. They would only be liable if it were shown that they had been negligent in giving reasonable care and skill. As to the facts of the case, it was said that when Dr. Skyrme was called in he diagnosed something that did not exist, and failed to diagnose something did not exist. It was worth while to remember what took pte-oe- According to plaintiff's own statement, from which his lordship read, the statement waa that Dr. Skyrme said that there wa& no fracture. But he must remind the jury that r. Skyrme contradicted this. At the same tim--e Mr. Skyrme admitted that he did not tell Plaintiff that there was a fracture gug- gestmg that he did not wish to a?rm the Patient. When Mr. L, Thomas arrived 'bl at once told plaintiff that there was a it^ireV ? to the ?1 on the telephone; Mr ^^own th?t Mr. SkYTmo did not tell ,Mr. Thomas that there was the more serious ini,ct,ry. This W«nt in some way to support fracture! 'They^h '?'d n?di?nosed a fra'otur,e. They had seen in evidence of ocher surgeons that iÏt .? ?<? to diagnose  "?????Q in suc; Y;cum- sfcuices, t « even If Mr.  fadled, it need not be because he ?f.ul. a.ud th«y "LSe S "LyZ J™, to a book Whioh Snta?? tabe  of 4iislomtion." That was nO fully ?plain?d, and it might mean tha?MT. Skyrme + had not quite i?,uisfied Mr. Thomas that there had been a dislocar tricm. Turning to the treatment, the Judge pointed out that the means adopted by Dr. Skyrme had been used for dislocation, but no one called had heard of it ae a. treat* ment for dislocation, when there was also a fracture of the bone of the arm. But, again, he warned the jury that if Dr. Skyrme bad made an error of judgment in not diagnosing the fracture,- that was not sufficient to warrant the jury in land- ing him in damages. He had how- ever, said that he diagnosed' both the fracture and the d is location. Dr. Skynne called in Mr. Lynn Thomas, I and b,e examined thO arm, and nliiiitnttiff cAid that he a.t once detected a. sldght, wepit-us. That wtaa the first time that plaimtiff bad heard of that. Plaintiff alleged, further, that Mr. Thomas said that there was a. small piece of borne broken off the BhorWder, and the plaintiff would be all right in a few weeks. His lortMiip thought that Mr. Hwroae must have detected that there was a dis- placement. Next ca.me the discussion about t&e X-Rays, but a photo was not taken, uufciil after-.t,rdo Upon that they found that the bone of the arm, was visible, and they had heard a/bout, wibat was said regarding a cut- tjng operation. There were three positive charges against Skyirme—first, that he made mistake, and ascertained, as he thought, yhat there was a dislooatton; eeoomdly, that he failed to diagnose what was there—i-e., a, fracture; and that he applied a treatment that was imappldcable to the real oomdatitoii 0If the case. These charges were of care- l'assmess of an active character. In addStteriv there ware charges of a negative kind of oarefessniees. The slotlive were as against Dr. Skyrme, but the negative charge against both the defendants were these: (1) That they did not nee A-rays, which would have shown exactly the poei- tion of the bone in the first instance; ø That they failed to WO an anasat^tio to. reduce the zmwaular oppoaBStm wznon g* Jillifl! mull II<ITmiWi '™tirrfii'>l™n was being set; and (3), and this was the whole point of the case, that they wholly failed to try to bring about apposition of the ends of the bone. Upon this last point his Lordship said that he need not drtell upon the necessity of apposition or the benefits to be derived from it. What they were told was that it was The First Thing to be Done and it appealed to one.s common sense that with a broken limb the first thing to be dene was to get the broken ends into posi- tion. What he understood the defendants to say, however, was that it would have been a useless operation, as the two ends of the bone in this case could not be kept together. One of the witnesses made a straiage statement, i.e.. that when the arm wa-i pulled it acted as a moans of getting the bone into apposition by a sort of lucky ohanoe. Mr. Coloam remarked that Sir Frederick Trervee gave evidence on that point. The Judge, continuing, remarked that he could not deal at length with tlio difficulty of maintaining the bones in position. In such a case most of the doctors called seemed to be agreed that there would be very great difficulty if not impossibility, in maintaining the bones in position; but, again, the real point was whether an attempt had been made in plaintiff's case to bring the bones into pcsition. They could not say whether if such a. thing had been done it would have had the result of reducing the amoun, of injury to the plaintiff's arm. Speaking of  witnesses and evidenoe given, he waid that, no doubt, the witnesses b?d he?d the court to the ca?e. but Sev ?oS not be o?rbome by mere matter cA numbers. No doubt the dcct? tod s'poken honestly, but ??-? was ? great St T tnith in w?t Mr. Duke h? Faid as to the difficulty for men in the position of Mr. Southern to get medical men to give evidence in suoh a case It w-is an action of er^t and serious importance to the defen- donts, whoso future would be affected con- siderably by the verdmt. The jury should, therefore, consider their verdict as carefully as possible. The jury then retired at five minutes past three o'clock JURY DISAGREE AND ARE SENTI BACK. After a long absence the jury returned into court, and said they could not agree. The Judge appealed to them to come to an agreement, and sen/t them back to make another effort. I
iJustices' -Clerk's Fees I
Justices' Clerk's Fees A OARDIFF CONTROVERSY Mr. Allcock, Cardiff city treasurer, to-day reported to the finance committee that the justices' clerk (Mr. Dandel Rees) received certain fees which were not passed over to the city accounts. A lengthy statement was made and correspondence read, which showed that the fetes were for making copies of depositions for the prosecution, which, Mr. Rees held, was quite optional, and in no way part of his work as clerk, or included in the schedule of duties for which under a recent arrangement he is paid an inclusive salary. A letter from the Home Office to Mr. Allcock stated that the work of making copies not having been expressly excluded in the order fixing the salary, it was clear the fees should be accounted for; but the Secretary of State was not aware of a.ny express authority that the clerk was bound to make such copies. The Town-clerk reported that he thought the clerk should acoount for the fees. It was resolved to obtain oouneel's opin-iou on the subject.

ccON THE KNEE"ORDE[I
ccON THE KNEE"ORDE[I I Lieutenant Collard COURT-MARTIALLED ON THE VICTORY The trial of Lieutenant Bernard St. George Collard for reported misoonduct in the matter of the "On the knee order" was begun to-day on board H.M.S. Victory. Rear- Admiral Gamble. commanding the Devon- port Reserve, was President, and at the out- set several objections raised by the prose- cutor to the constitution of the tribunal were sustained. The prisoner, who surrendered his sword, did not object to the court as re-constituted. The charges were: — (1) For that he, Lieutenant Collard, did on the 24th of November, 1905, commit an act of prejudice and good order and discipline in giving unrauthorised punishment to Stoker Albert Acton, and i nueing abusive language to Acton. (2) For that he, on. the 4th of November of this year, committed an act of prejudice of discipline in making an improper use of the order "On the kne" at the Royal Naval Barracks. The circumstantial letter set forth the following alleged facts, "that on the 24th of November, 1905, Lieutenant Collard was pre- sent when the fire party were being mus- tered by Mr. F. E. C. Hurst, gunner. Some of the men did not answer to their names in the proper manuer, and were cautioned by Lieutenant Collard. When the name of Stoker (2nd class) Acton was called he did not answer correctly, and was spoken to by Mr. Hurst, and the matter was then taken up by Lieutenant Collard, who gave the order On the knee" to this individual stoker, and spoke to him whilst in this position, and called him a dog, or made use of a sdmilar abusive expression towarde Stoker Acton, who was afterwards taken to the guardroom by Stoker Petty-offioear William John Maptesden and put in the commander's report. The records show that Acton's name was entered in the report book charged with improperly answering his name at. fire -1. nA quarters on JNovemuer ú", .l:JViJ, ftliU a«aujhi this owe is a notification, "No evidence can be produced that any complaint was made to the authorities at the Royal Naval Barracks a.bout this incident." On the 4th of November. 1906, Lieutenant Collard was commanding-officer at C.R. quarters. Whilst the men were being inspected it oa.me on to rain, and Lieutenant Collard ordered the men to disperse. Lieutenant Cowam, who was at the time inspecting the stokers' division, when olea.r of the ranks, ordered them to dismiss, which they did in a Somewhat Disorderly Manner Lieutenant Cowam reported this irregularity to lieutenant Collard, who ordered the stokers to fall in in the gynmaeium. When assembling in the gyiMa.=ium some of the men were noisy, and did not fall in at once. To oheck this uoiee Lieutenant Collard ordered the bugle "&tiR!" to be Bonded. which was not properly obeyed by all the ?? ??ent. He (Lieut?aut CoHa.Td) then save the ord?r "On the knee." Some ?Lpt?d to the order at once, but a large ?bPT did 7-t, and there were cries from ?r?'r rank of "D?'t obey M?." a?d maTiv of the men who had fimt obeyed the order _ot up. Lieutemanft Colla.rd then the stokers, and a?a.m gave the ord?,r "On the knee,' which was, after ??' hesitation on the part <? a  obeyed. Lieutenant CoMard then cT i' to the stokers and dismissed them."  foregoing letter was addressed to the ?????r-in-cM? by Commodore Briggs fre'n p.,I)oi,rd his M?je?.y's ship Vernon. 1?? T'jrat '?a first briefly examined on the oireumstanrtial lette-, and was foUo?d by ??tv-o<Rcer Taylor, who swore that on ??4th of November, 1905. the word3 .?ed rn hfq hearing by Lieutenant Collard were, r. ?wn on your k?. You Dirty Dog, I rn your manners." This was after f?h command to go down boo been thc frosd "impertinently." The stoker thus Acon, obeyed by going on ah ] nee but immediately rose again.

OoMard had used such words. I told them, 'You have heard all about it, and ?'t, want me to tell You. Replying to the prisoner in cross-examina?- t.åon Chief Fetty-of&oer Taylor said: I heard j?nour that you had paid a certain sum a f money to settle the 'm?Mer. ?pri?o???? Did you believe the rumour? IV-itness: No. Did you take any steps to verify it?—No, because I did not believe it. prisoner: Considering that your work has ,been so closely associated with mine for the last year and nine months, did you not con- sider it your duty to speak to me about 6UCU a serious rumour that you did not jjeiieve? •Witness: I did not consider it my place, 1 Relieved the rumour to be a pack of lies. Replying to the Court, witness said he had only known the order given to an indi- vidual once, and that was to' this man, Acton. After the occurrence questions were unofficially asked a.bout it by petty officers. T+ was general talk. ) When did you first hear Lieutenant Col- lard had taken money to settle the case?- I heard it on the afternoon after the occur- rence. From did you hear it?—From an instruc- tor. Chief Petty Officer Maplesden, next called, interpreted the order of Lieutenant Collard not as "On the knee," but "On the knees." He did not hear the epithet. But after the man had been put in the guard-room for disrespect to the command- ing officer, witness was told the incident had been "washed out." He did not know the name of the stoker concerned. He had not heard of such an order before, though it was much discussed. Te had not been asked questions about it by anybody outside the service. "On the knee" was no doubt an service." "Anything, added witness, "is an order that comes from the mouth of a.n officer." Stoker William Blacker, one of the fire party on the 24th of November, 1905, said Acton answered cut muster by saying, "Here," without adding Sir." Lieutenant Collard then addressed him in these words, Is that the way to address a nofficer. Go down on your knees, you dog." Acton wrote a letter which witness, as his friend, was to take to a solicitor at 7 p.m.. but at 6.30 Acton was sent for to the guard room. He came back and teld me," witness continued. Prisoner (interposing): I protest against his saying what Cotton told him. It is not evi- dence. The Deputy-Judge Advocate: It cannot be evidence unless Lieutenant Collard was pre- sent. The Court upheld the objeotion. A similar objection po a recital of what was alleged to have ten place at the con- sultation with the solicitor was sustained. The Prosecutor: Can you give any reason for adopting the course yotl took of going to a solicitor. Witness ■. I deoline to answer that question. The Court was cleared, and on its being re- opened the question was allowed. Replying to the prisoner, the witness said He Went to a Solicitor because he thought it a civil case that ought" to bo inquired into, and not a. case for the commodore. He had heard of damages being obtained in civil actions against officers, but he could not specify particular oases. Did Acton ever tell you he had received money from me?—No, certainly not. So your conclusion is he never received money from me?-That is my own conclu- sion. Has Acton deserted from his Majesty's Ser- yioe?—He went away on Easter leave, a.nd has not returned. (Laughter.) Tho court adjoruned for the day.

"I WON'T BE COERCED." I Mr. Haldane was subjected to considerable questioning in the House of Commons to- ) day with regard to the removal of the Soots Greys from Edinburgh. He added: I decline to be coerced in this manner. Mr. Dalziel asked whether paying deference to the wishes of Scotch representatives could be described as coercion. Mr. Haldane: No, sir. But when people como with local considerations and try to over-ride general considerations, local repre- sentations of that kind cannot be considered. Mr. Dabiel: Does that refer to Lord Eose- bery. (Order, order.) Mr. Haldane did not answer that, but he explained in reply to other queries tihat it was the "intention of the War Office to make i provision for- o&v&fcrx- in Scotland.
IMULLINS;UNSTEADYIi
IMULLINS;UNSTEADYIi I Porter and Police I THE LONDON INQUIRY. The Royal Commission appointed to inquire into the oonduct of the police in the Metropolis resumed its sittings to-day at the Guildhall, Westminster. Sir David l Brynmor Jones, K.C., M.P.. presided. For I the police there appeared Mr. EldonBapkes, K.C., and Mr. R. D. Muir, while Earl Russell I represented the Police and Public Vigilance I Society. The case of George Mullins," the Covent Garden porter, who alleges that he was ill- used by the constables, who arrested himi46n a charge of being drunk, disorderly, and using obscene language, was further con- sideired. j Inspector Wheeler was recalled and examined by Earl Russell as to what hap- pened in the police-station on this occasion, Witness said he did not see any violence on the part of the prisoner, although the oon- stable who arrested him said Mullins struggled in the street. There was blood on Mullins's face, and witness took it for granted that he had been fighting in the street, but Mullins complained he had been struck in the mouth by the policeman. Mor- gan, who arrested Mullins, had denied that he assaulted the prisoner. Witness then asserted that the prisoner was drunk. Earl Russell: How do you know?-He smelt very strongly of drink, amd was very un- steady on his feet. Earl Russell: And half an hour later the police doctor certified he was not drunk?— Yes. The Chairman questioned the witness closely as to the whole of the incidents upon which Mullins was charged. Witness's reply included nothing about obscene language, but on the chairman pointing out-that Mullins was subsequently charged with that offence, the witness amplified his answer, and said the constable who made the arrest did say that Mulline had made use of such language. The Chairman .pointed out that in his report witness made no reference to the use of obscene language. Witness then admitted that Mullins was I searched. The Chairman pointed out that the white book of instructions said that "A person might be searched if it be suspected he has on his person any deadly weapon." Witness admitted he had no suspicion of the sort, and yet Mullins was Searched. I Witness further admitted that, contrary to the instruction in "the white book," he did not write down the statement made by prisoner in the police-station. He only fol- lowed this practice of writing down a state- ment in a case of felony or something serious, and not in the case of a charge of drunken- ness. The Chairman: This distinction does not appear to be in the white book. (Proceeding.)

TITLED MEN AT LAW
TITLED MEN AT LAW ACTION FOR MINERAL RENTS AT SWANSEA. I Counter-Claims for S26,0001 At the Glamorgan Assizes to-day (before Mr. Justice Walton and a special jury) a case which had been anticipated locally with great interest, as two Swansea gentlemen of title were involved, came on for hearing. It was an aotion in which Sir John T. D. Llewelyn, Bart., of Penllergaer, sued Baron Glantawe, of The Grange, Swansea, for X5,830, rents and royalties, due under covenant in respect of minerals alleged to have been worked near Swansea by the Tirdonkin Col- liery Company, of which Lord Glantawe is chairman. This claim had been paid into court. A counter-claim was now made by the defen- dant for no less than 925,000 damages for breach of agreements by the plain- tiff to let to the defendant 450 acres of additional mmor&ls-estlmiated loss of profits, extra. expenditure of sinking and equipping pits, interest on expenditure, Ac. Mr. J. A. Hamilton, K.C., and Mr. Villiers Meager (instructed by Mr. T. W. James) appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. S. T. Evans, K.C., M.P. (instructed by Mr. Clason. Dohue), for the defendant. Mr. Hamilton said the defendant's counter- claim relied upon sundry agreements entered into which had the effect of varying-the lease and its application!, and in reply to that the plaintiff denied that the agreements set up by the defendant were reaJly entered into. Mr. Hamilton said that so far ae .formal evidence went his case consisted of proving a negative, namely, in answering the contention of the defendant that there were these agreements. His Lordship agreed with the suggestions of counsel, that the defendant should call his evidence first. Air. Hamilton, in opening the case, said the plaintiff, Mr John Llewelyn, was the owner of a quantity of mineral lands, and he granted a lease of portions of the coal underlying the Penllega-er Estate on February 20, 1897, to the late Mr. G. R. Daniel. Mr. Daniel in due course assigned that lease to Lord Glantawe, then Sir John Jones Jenkins. That was ait some time prior to the year 1900. At that time little or nothing had been done to open the' colliery property in question. A company seemed to have been formed, called the Cwm- donkin Colliery Company, which had for some time been engaged in sinking pits upon this property. The lease provided that the lessee should pay Sleeping Rents and royalties, but there was a special provi- sion, not at all uncommon, for the payment of an extra royalty. There were two portions of land, comprising altogether 600 acres, and these two portions were not of the same uniform quality of ooal. (Proceeding.)
iSaid She Gave the BeerI
Said She Gave the Beer NEATH WOMV FINED FOR SELLING WITHOUT LICENSE Edward and Mary Anm Davies, of Ethel- street, were charged at Neath to-day with selling beer by retail without a license on Strnday, November 25. Mr. David defended. Police-eergeant Michael said at 10.15 on the morning of the alleged offence he saw Charles Booth, in Ethel-etreet, and found inside his shirt a. quart bottle of beer. Booth said he had had the beer from Mm. Davies. The officer took him back, but Mrs. Davies first said, He has not had it here," and then admitted she had given the beer to him. Wiftness then found ten quart bottles of beer in the house. Mr W. H David: Who sent Booth there? —I can't say. Was he sent there by your authority, or by your knowledge?—I decline to answer. I Charles Booth said he went to Mrs. Davies, and "axed" her for a quart of beer. She studied a bit, then gave him a quart, for which he paid a shilling. Mjb. Davies had no change and gave him a shilling back, telling him to send sixpence for the beer later on. Mr. David: Who asked yon to go to Dvaies?—No one but myself. Were you ever asked by the police?—No, sir. Is that evidence as true as the rest you have given?—Yes, sir. Mr. David: Well, the magistrates will judge of that. Proceeding Mr. David sub- mitted there was no evidence against the husband. The Bench agreed, and the caee against him. was dismissed. Mr. David, for the defence, said that Booth had tried to brazen it out, but he had perjured himseil. Were they going to convict the woman on his evidence? Surely not. I Mrs. Davies said Booth complained of feel- ing bad after a jolly good booze on Satur- day night, and she gave him a quart bottle of beer. He offered a shilling, but she declined to take it. There was not the slightest truth in the suggestion that she had done any shebeen ing. Her husband and the lodgers were rollermen. The Bench fi-nei Mrs. Daviee C2 and costs, or one month.
