PESTERED BY POSTCARDS. I A lively ten minutes was experienced in Cardiff Police-court to-day to-day in the summons for maintenanoo brouglit by Eliza Jane Howell against her husband, Thomas Howell of North Church-street. Mr. Harold Lloyd, who defended, said the husband was pestered by pictorial postcards being sent to his working-places, of which the following were a sample: — You look very nice, indeed—just like a Oowbridge poacher' g-oing with a braoe of ttolen rabbits to cook for your breakfast- You dirty thief. (Laughter.) Another rood;- Send your 12s. earlier next Saturday, you dirty scamp. (Ijaug-hter.) I Mr. Lloyd (to the wife)-. Would you kindly leave my name out of it when you write, if you don't mind? (Laughter.) The advocate went on to say that the defendant was suffer- ing from a weak chest. The Wife (volubly): I ought to know the state of his ohest better than you do. <Loud laughter.) I-— 31r. Milner-Jones: Stop talking! The Wife: Say what you like, Mr. Lloyd. (Laughter.) His Worship (smiling): Will you s to p talk- ing. woman! Mr. Lloyd said it was simply a question of amount. His Worship said he would adjourn the case fcr a month, and warned the wife as to the postcards she sent.

SOAP LIBEL SEQUEL 1 An applicaton was made to the First Divi- sion of the Court of Session to-day by Messrs. Dever Brothers (Limited), Birkenhead, for leave to aippeal to the House of Lords against the judgment of the division in the action by the petitioners against the "Daily Record," Glasgow (Limited), for £50.000 damages in respect of alleged slander said to be con- tained in aTlticles published in 1906, and redat- ing to what wa-a called the soap combine. The division affirmed the judgment of Lord Guthrie approving of an issue for the plain- tiffe, in which the question for the jury was, whethor the statement complained of falsely amd calumniously represented that the •plainitiffls by themselves, in company with others, had been guilty of de-ceiving the ,public and traders by dishonest methods and practices in business to the loss, injury, and damage of the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs asked that another issue should be approved in the following terms, whetber the statements are false and whether made with the design of exposing and did expose the plajntiffS to public odium and contempt. The division refused that issue, and it was against that refusal that the petitioner asked leave to appeal to the House of Lords. Leave was granted.

CASE OF EX-LIEUT. WOODS I The appeal of ex-Lieutenant Henry Charles Woods, of the Grenadier Guards, from the decision of Mr. Justice Qhannell, who struck out his statement of claim in his action against the Army Council, on the ground that it disclosed no cause of action and was frivolous and vexatious, was entered for hearing befo.re the Lord Chief Justice and Lord Justices Fletoher Moulton and Farvvell to-day. The Attorney-General said he understood the case then before the court was not likely to finish to-day, and, as it would be incon- venient for him to attend to-morrow, he had "greed with his learned friend, Mr. Lush, that Lieutemant Woods's appeal should stand over until the second week of the next sittings. Thgi-r lojxlships assented.

COMPENSATION APPEAL I To-day the Appeal Court sent the case of the Ystrodoweai Colliery Company (Ltd) v. Griffiths back to the Neath County-court judge on the ground that his honour had mis-directed himself in cosisidering the question) whether a workman's incapacity to work "was the natural consequence of the ocoident which he, undoubtedly, met with. Griffiths appealed a,gainst the county-court judge reducing his compensation to Id. per tmonth. The court. said the judge must con- sider whether the man's condit-ion was in consequence of the injury and not a natural result.

The scene on the course and in the paddock was one of wild enthusiasm, the King's win being one of the most popular character. This is the first time in his- tory for a reigning King of Great Britain and Ireland to win the Derby, though, of course, it. is not forgotten that while Prince of Wales our present King twice won the Blue Riband of the Turf, with Persimmon in 1896 and Diamond Jubilee in 1900. The scene which succeeded Minoru's victory (wires another correspondent) baifles adequate description, and so great was the fumult of enthusiasm that many minutes elapsed before a way could be formed for his Majesty, who led his horse back to the scales. When the "all right" was called the scene of enthusiasm wa-s re-enacted to an equal degree. I Great Roar of Cheers. The race was witnessed by an immense i crowd, and immediately it was seen that the Kegal colours would triumph, loud cheering broke out from all parts of the course, and it grew in volume as the Royal horse neared the judge's box, until it developed into a great roar as the colt galloped past the post, a gallant winner. Thus, for the first time since it was estab- lished, in 1780, this, the greatest characteristic rajoe in the world, has been won by the reign- ing monarch of Great Britain. Both the King and Queen were interested spectwtors of the remarkable eoerte that lowed the Royal victory, and their Majesties bowed acknowledgments of the applauding of the multitude. Just prior to the race rairn fell heavily, but the downpour ceased as the tapes went up. DESCRIPTION OF THE RACE I ?- -1 The fifteen runners paraoea ana camereu in mc order of tho card, and little time was cut to waste at the post, though Valens displayed a slight disinclina- tion to face the barrier. From an excellent start Louviers and Brooklands jumped off, side by side, In front of Phaleron, Sir Martin, Diamond Stud, and St. Ninian, with Electric Boy next, in front of Minoru and Strickland last. But on fairly settJfhg down Brooklands took a length and a half lead of Louviers, with Sir Martin next, followed by Minoru, Bayardo, and Valens, with I'haleron loading the remainder, of which St. Ninian was last. At the mile post Louviers headed his stable companion, the pair going on in ad- vance of Sir Martin, who was just clear of Minoru, these being followed by Phaleron, Valens, Electric Boy, Bayardo, and The Story, with St. Jfinian still last. At Tattenham Corner Louviers still headed tho field, followed by Bayardo. Minoru, and Valens, and, being crowded in, Sir Martin lost his feet and fell. So they ran to the strait, where Minoru drew up on the inside and headed Louviers, the pair being clear of Electric Boy, and William the Fourth. A terrific struggle took place between the two leaders, but, run- ning on with irtmost determination, Minoru gradually outstayed Louviers amidst a scene unprecedented on any racecourse, and the favourite won by a head; half a length away William the Fourth finished third. Valens was fourth, Bavardo fifth, Eleotric Boy sixth, Strickland seventh, The Story eighth, Sandbath ninth, Phftlaron tenth, Diamond Stud eleventh, Proster Jack next and Brooklands last.

TO-DAY'S CRICKET Oxford U. v. Austialiiis, i Result of corresponding match in 1905;—Australians, 241 and 266; Oxford, 167 &ud 140. The Australiami won by 200 runs. Some more rain fell in Oxford this morning, but it was found possible to resume the game at 11.45. Though the sun shone, the sky had an unsettled appearance, and the wind was rather cool. The pitch naturally was soft, and Oxford, with six wickets for 118, were in a bad position. Eleven runs were added, and T. Leese wa-s bowled after being in for eighty- five minutes. Robinson left at the same total. Cart- wright and Gilbert wore out at 132. the innings closing shortly after noon. M'Cartney took the four wickets for two runs. Leading by 115, the Australians went in a second time at 12.25, and before a run had been. scored Ilartigan was bowled. Hansford joined Bardsley, and runs were put on at iii fair pace, the 50 going up in thirty-five minutes. The s-core was advanced to 73 when Bards'iey cut a ball into his wicket. The =econd partnership added 73 in fifty minutes. Bardsley made -olne good drives and leg strokes, hitting four 4's. Score:- AUSTRALIANS. First innings. AUSTlULIA:NS. Second innings.

I THE TEST MATCH. I Wilfrid Rhodes, the Yorkshire cricketer, re-reived a wire at Bradford this morning asking him to be at Birmingham to-morrow prepared, to take his place in the England team to meet Australia in the first test match. Hardy and Somerset I Hardy, the Imperial Club professional at Bristol, was given permission by his club at the start of the season to play in four matches for Somerset, but he has done so well for the Western shire that per- mission has now been granted for him to play in four more games. It is also probable that Somerset Iwill play one of their county matches on the Imperial Ground at Bristol next season. The Injured List I Noble, the Australian captain, is suffering from a slight attack of sunstroke, and was not fielding on Tuesday. Fielcjer revived an old strain when bowling at Northampton, on Monday, and will probably do no more bowling in the match. To-morrow afternoon he wiU consult a specialist.

Crossed in Love. 1, LADY ALLOWED £ 50 FOR BREACH [SPECIAL. TO THE EVENING EXPRESS. 'J Emma Luokett, a good-looking', fair girl,, claimed damages for breach of promise or marriage in the londoii Sheriff's Court to- day. The defendant was Frederick Thomas CLemens, of the Royal lvaerle, Chelsea, and the jury assessed the lady's loss in losing him at £ 50. The coupde met in 1904, and three months later became en^ag-ed. The girl at onco beg-a-n to buy the trousseau and the thing-g necessary for the home. He cultivated (said Mr. Cooney, for the plaintiff) a low, sordid spirit. He bettered his position, arid married a public-house, or, rttlier, a woman who had a licensed house iji her own name. The Under-Sheriff: Is that the spirit you were alluding- to. (Laughter.) Mr. Coriiey: Yes. The Under-Sheriff: They have put a heavy tax on it now. Mr. Cooney: I hope the jury will put. heavy tax on it. Co-tinsel produced defendant's marriage cer- tificate, dated t.he 4th of February, 1909, and oalled attention to the fact that he described himself as of independent means. Plaintiff, who appeared much distressed in the witness-box, said her health had broken down, and she had been unable to work since the discovery of the defendant's marriage. As recently as Bsoam.bor last IJhad writtend her promis- ing to marry her, and saying, "Stick to me. You have got a good one." She had spent £ 30 on her trousseau. The jury aepaased the damages at zC50, as stated ab we, and judip. meat wlae given far that amount.

CLERIC AND WIFE, Divorce-court Story. GOVERNESS CO-RESPONDENT In the Divorce Court today Mr. Justice Bar grave Deane and a common jury resumed the hearing of the case in which Mrs. Catherine Elizabeth Keen sues for a, divorce from the Rev. Stuart Gordon Holland Shad- Well Keen, rector of North Stoke, near Bath, ftgainst, whom she alleges cruelty and mis- conduct. He answers denying his wife's allegations. The marriage took place in 1900 at Croy- I don, where the wife's parents resided. The I petitioner, according to the brief opening statement of her counsel yesterday, alloges Various acts of violence and misconduct by her husband with a governess. Mr. Priestley, K.C., and the Hon. Victor Russel appeared for the petitioner, and Mr. Bayford for the respondent- The petitioner, Mrs. Keen, was now examined by Mr. Priestley. She said she was married to the respondent (who was then IL curate) on the 10th of November, 1900, at Croydon Parish Church. After the marriage they went to live at Kilve, near Bridgwater. In the month following her husband struck her because she had called his attention to something to which he objected. He struck her on the face and head with his hand and bruised her. When on a visit to a cousin's house at Reading he got the Worse for drink, a.Del &truck her on the body and arms. While they lived subsequently in Lansdowne-road, Bath, her husband came home drunk on a few occasions. He said he had spent the evening with some young men., and he thought they had put something into the drink. In October, 1901. she hd to stay in bed several days because her husband I had given her a blow on the faoe and bruised her eye. She Had a Black Eye To what did you attribute his temper?- Drink. In September, 1904, said witness, her husband became Rector of North Stoke. He had used objectionable words to her. He had on more than one occasion oalled her a woman, Did he make any accusation to you?—Yea. lie said I had been a bad woman before I married him, and that my children were not his. Was there any truth whatever in that?— None whatever. "5 How do you aocount for this particula.r statement?—Drink was the cause of all the evil. Did he get thoroughly intoxicated?—He got VO-ry excited. He got the drink from a pantry. Was he ahle to conduct his eervices?—Yes.. In Deoember, 1906, said the witness, she engaged a young woman as governess. Witness at night was upstairs attending to the children, and usually went downstairs and joinoed her husband auid the governess nt supper. At that tim3 witness occupied a foom adjoining her husband's. On a.n occa- sion in 1907, when she was kneeling before the fire, her husband knocked her over. Were there quarrels then?—There were alwa.ys quarrels. Witness said she wa.s noeinte at the time. In June that year one Evening she found her husband In the Young Lady's Room He told me," said the petitioner, "I wras Pot wa.nted there." I refused to go. He was Very violent, and dragged me by the hair from the chair on to the fiOOT. He often threatened to kill me. The governess inter- fered to protect me. He was hitting me with his fists. He had a hnnting crop, and he 63;id he would hit me with it. Did he do s^^Yee, he struck me. The governess and If went into the nursery and lacked ourselves in. My husband came and burst the (Ippr open. with his foot. He stood over we, and threatened me." Witness said that later the governess got a letter, in which her husband said:- I have made up my mind not to have any wine or whisky in the house. I have been giving myself a good talking to for my want of control under provoca- tion, and if I do not improve I must give up preaching to others, but I must have a good struggle. On the 22nd of August Mrs. Keen said she deceived a letter from her husband, in which he said:— My dear Betty,—I am very pleased with the tone of your letter, and I particularly want you all to come back to-morrow. I have a strange feeling that you will be wise to bring Miss Medlock back with you. What I feed is that she is devoted to you and the ba-W. We must talk things over always-in a sympathetic way. I want to make our house circle a very happy one, Puled by kind thoughts. I could have bitten my tongue out when I used that word before Jeffrey. It was, only once, but once too many. The past is buried, and I hope you will never refer to it. We start afresh, as though it had never been. After that, said the petitioner, his conduct unproved for a time. For a time he was an ^•kstainer. The governess went home for a holiday, and another lady was, engaged in her place. Her husba-nd wanted her to give Notice, and send for the former governess to Return. Ultimately she did return, with her consent, in January, 1908. Friday, the 6th Of March last year, said petitioner, was a Very stormy night. There was A Noise Outside the House I and she came downstairs, and went into the drawing-room unexpectedly. "I saw," continued petitioner, "the respon- dent and the governess sitting over the fire -lier arms were round his neck, and she was apparently kissing his neck. I said, "What are you doing They both jumped Up, looked very uncomfortable, antd he said, "Doing Why, nothing," and she said, "I feel so faint. Will you fetch me some water? and he went out of the room, and fetched a Slass of water. When he came back with the water I said I had seen him with her ftrms round his neck. He said it was non- sense, and that I was a very wicked woman to say it, and that he would send for my father. He told me that ho found her in a fainting condition, and had just come into the room. What did Miss Medlock say?—I told her to go into her room, and she went. I askea toy husband if he had kissed the girl, and he sa,id, "No." Did he fetch anything?—Yes; he fetched the Bible, and swore on it that he had never kissed her. The girl left the Monday follow- 1l1Jg, and in the presence of my husband I hegged her not to see him again. When she went away my husband was at the front door, and he followed her down the long drive. Revolver in a Bedroom I Questioned next as to a revolver, the peti- tioner said she found a loaded revolver in the respondent's bedroom, and she gave it to the doctor to take care of. On March 18, 1908, she was in the drawing-room with her hus- band. "He took up a poker," said the peti- tioner, "and threatened to bosh my head With it. He held it in his hand, in a threa.ten- 1 way." I rang the bell, and the maid c&me, and Mr. Keen, who still held the poker, Raid: "you see, Alioe, I am going to stir the fire." Mrs. Keen next spoke to an interview which took place between her and her husband and the governess in the presence of some rela- tions and the solicitor, Sir Alexander Law- ■^e.Tje, who said to the respondent, "You have hffolven one of the commandments." He denied it. The governess said, "You know it is true." The respondent replied, "It is not true." 0 Ddd Miss M. repeat it more than once ail1-d did your husband deny it more than omoe?— think so. I asked him to tell the truth, and he took no notice. The petitioner said shfe finally left her husband on the 21st of March, 1908. Mr. Bayford (orow-ezamining) From- ArRt "J 'h. to last has not your husband absolutely denied any misconduct with the governess? Petitioner: To me he has. He hae admitted to my sister that he kissed the governess. Has he not complained from time to time of your being bad tempered, and that when you lost your temper you did not know what you were doing?—I Relieve he did, but it was not so. With regard to the revolver, counsel sug- gested that. Mr. Keen had it for protection when he had to go along a lonely road, and from a neighbouring place where he con- dnoted a service, and Mrs. Keen aalmitted that he was nervous about going along the road at night. In June, 1907, when she went home to her parents at Croydon, Mrs. Keen said that her husband wrote and Suggested That She Was Insane Mr. Bayford read a letter written by Mr. Keen to the petitioner's father, which ran: Dear Sir,—Can you spar\ an hour to come here and meet Dr. Benson on the subject of your daughter's mental con- dition? Mrs. Latham must have known somothing when she told me that unless I married her her reason would probably suffer. I am confident that unless she is sent to someone who can control her she will do, sooner or later, serious harm. In re-examination, Mrs. Keen said it was not true that Dr. Eienson had ever examined her with regai-d to her mental condition. Elizabeth Griffin, a maternity nurse, of Bittern, examined by the Hon. Victor Russell, ea-id that in 1907 she heaord the rector threaten Mrs. Keen. He told her if she did not go upstairs he would horsewhip her. Witness had known the rector and Miss Med- look to be alone together very often. Miss Medlock sometimes took tea to the rector's room in the morning, and she had known her to stay there ten minutes. Once the rector and Miss Medlock went out together to post a letter, and were away two hours. Witness had seen the rector go into Miss Medlock's bedroom to take his boy, and on one occasion Miss Medlock wae not fully- dressed. The rector had walked in the garden in t.he evening with Miss Medlock in Mrs. Keen's absence from home, and also when she was resting. Oposvs-examined, the witness said she had never seen any fa.miliarity between Miss Mod- lock and the rector. She took tea to the bedroom owing to the maid's absence. The further hearing was adjourned until to-morrow.

IT'S THE CURSED DRINK." I Thomas Greenham and Susan Greenham, of Havelock-street, were sum.moned by Inspector Edward Johnson, National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, at Cardiff Police-court to-day for neglecting their two children. Mr. D. W. Evans, who prosecuted, at the outset remarked that the case against the hmsbaind was not very strong. On May '14 the inspector visited the place and found the family occupying a back kitchen a.nd back top garret. The visit was made at 10.30 a.m. The male defendant and the two childrem, one fifteen and the other twelve, were in bed, and the husband sa.id that, although he hid his boots on the previous night, his wife had found and pledged them as well as the bedclothes for drink. Dr. J. D. Williams said that the children must have aunered. and Inspector Burke said he had seen the woman almost daily under the influence of drink. It's drink, the cursed drink," said the woman with a deep sigh, ere Mir. Ma luer-Jones gave her two months. The husband was cautioned.

A MAGISTRATE'S RECRET. I John Bowden, labourer, Pontypridd, was before the local magistrates to-day charged with breaking open a slot gas-meter belong- ing to thJe district council at Pa/ntygraigwen and stealing 7s. 8d. therefrom. The evidence was that Bowden was eeen forcing open the meter with a screwdriver, and when dis- turbed th realtenied to drive the instrument through anyone who interfered with him. and afterwards ran down the street, losing some of the pennies from his over-laden pockets as he hurried along wit.h his booty. The Presiding Magistrate (Mr. James Roberts), after glancing at defendant's record, remarked that he was sorry he was not empowered to send Bowden to a longer period than the jurisdiction of the court admitted, adding, "Six months would do you far more good than thiree." Bowden was sentenced to three months' imprisonment, with hard labour.

SHIPPING TRADE PROSPECTS. I Mr. Owen Philipps, M.P., presiding in London to-day at the seventieth annual genera.1 meeting of shareholders of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company said that, in view of the depressed state of the shipping trade, it was a matter for congratulation that the company was able, not only to pay the full dividend on the preference stock, but also again to distribute a small dividend on the ordinary stock. The company had com- menced the new year well. The trade out look had greatly improved, and favourable coal contracts should result in a substantial reduction of running expenses. Referring to the Panama Canal, Mr. Philippe said there wa-s every prospect t-lfat it would be open for traffic by 1915, and its completion would enable the company's steamers to carry their Pacific cargo to its destination without trans- shipment.

ARREST BY A CLERGYMAN. I How a clergyman arrested a pickpocket in Hyde Park on Empire Day was told when Charles Fenley, aged 27, de-scribed as a prin- ter, was charged, at Marlboro ugh-street, London, yesterday, with the theft of a gold watch worth £W fro mthe Rev. Henry Free- man, of Sot, John'8-ipark, Upper Holloway. Mr. Freeman felt a tug at his watch pocket in the crowd at the saluting base," and charged the accused. After an ineffectual effort to get away, the prisoner quietly took the watch from hie posket, returned it, and remarked, I. am very sorry." Mr. Freeman then gave him in charge. Detective-sergeant DawFfon informed the magistrate that the prisoner was a convict only recently released from prison. The magistrate directed a, remand.

MR. VANDERBILT'S EX-VALET.

The prisoner, who pleaded guilty, had been discharged by Mr. Vanderbilt on May 11, and the articles were .missed some little time afterwards. They were, however, traced to a pawnshop, and prisoner was arrested.

I 'QUAKE SHOCKS IN ANGLESEY AND DEVON. The western portion of Anglesey has been visited by a slight earthquake. Both at Bryndu and Rhosneign the vibration was felt. Many people were much alarmed. A Shock at Tiverton. Tiverton, Devon,, ie agog with excitement to-day over an earthquake shook lasting be- tween a quarter of an houir and twenty minutes. The disturbance was henaMed by a noise resembling thunder, and when the windows and doors began to rattle many people were so frightened that they went out of doors. The Rev. G. C. Lowe, one of the house- masters at Bitttdell's School, states that one oi the boys in his house was in Jamaica at the time of the earthquake there, and that when the doors of the house began to rattle at one o'clock yesterday the toy was sure an earthquake shook was being experienced, but was afraid to say so for fear of being laughed at. Some responsible residents, who were like- wise alairrr.,ed, remained silent for the time being for the same cause. "I have this morning conversed with 40 people," wires our correspondent, "who ex- perieneed considerable shocks Mrs. Chapman, wife of a billposter, stated that after her windows had rattled violently there were several bumping knocks upstairs. Her husband went upstairs to try and ascer- tain the cause. While be was away she noticed that the water in the weather-glass was moving about as if someome was shaking it. Mrs. Chapman was then so frightened that she ran out of doors. In the north end of the town many were so frightened that they left their houses. All the people I have seen heard windows and doors rattle in eome places and crookery became displaced. There was not a breath of air stirring. People agree that they have never experienced ainything like it before. The shook was also experienced at Wh ill and and Bradiniinch, some miles away. Miss Janett, of Whilland, said the tremors ,seemed to come from below, amd produoed a sickening sensation.

FATAL FALL DOWNSTAIRS I The Cardiff Coroner held an inquest to-day on the body of Esther Hancock (48), wife of Mr. Frank Hancock, of Penarth-road, 'bus inspector. The husband said he had been separated from his wife for the last eight years. He did not know where she had been living latterly, but he was sorry to say that she was of intemperate habits amd had been leading an irregular life.

I A Grave Outlook. I MORE NAVAL REVELATIONS. I understand (says the London correspon- dent of the "Daily -Dispatch") that Sir George Armstrong proposes to make some further disclosures concerning letters written by naval officers to members of the Board of Admiralty at a meeting of the Na.vy League, It was Sir George's exposure of Captain Bacon's letter to Sir John Fisher that pro- j'dueed the rain of interrogations^ that have j recently been put to Mr. M'Keaina on the sub- ject of that now notorious communication, Sir George's fresh revelations are, I under- stand, concerned with most important per- sonages, and are of such a character that, I tbm informed, they might easily lead to the resignation of Mr. M'Keaitna, if not to the actual oolla.pi&e of the Ministry itself. The i new letters are not from Captain Bacon, but from other officers.

CARDIFF DOCK MYSTERY I This afternoon the Cardiff coroner (Mr. W. L. Yorath) heard evidence respecting the finding of the body of an unknown young man on Monday last, on the west side of the East Dock. Henry Herbert Stewart, of 31, System-street, a messenger lad, in the em- ploy of the Cardiff Railway Company, said the deceased stepped over the doc kwall into the water, which wos covered with coal dust. struggled in the water, and witness shouted to the men aboard the ship. They came down at once, but the man had sunk. John Murphy, of 32, Ferndale-street, boat- man, said he was on the vessel Dovedale, and saw a couple of hands disappear under the water. "I intended to jump in," said the witness, "but my presence of mind stopped me, seeing that the ship was so close to the quay way and 22ft. above it, and I might have struck the quay wall if I had jumped." He ran for a ladder, and when he got on to the quay the young man had sunk. Grapp- ling irons were sent for, and the body was found about ten minutes afterwards. Detec- tive Thomas Owen, of the Cardiff Railway Police force, spoke of the recovery of the body and the attempts made to resuscitate the young man.. Coroner's Officer Preece said the police had made inquiries as to the identity of the deceased, who was abotu eighteen years of age, but without avail. A description of the body had been circulated in the press and elsewhere. The jury re- turned a verdict of "Accidentally Drowned," and recommended that a 2ft. 6in. fencing be placed along the quay wall at the spot in question, together with a rope or chain on the inner side of the dock wail.
