The defendant's wife told him the niece and adopted daughter of Sir. Henry Adler Mr. William Henry Adler. who objected to the oath stated, on athrmation. that he wa chairman of Adlrr'a Consolidated Company (limited).

Tbe prisoner never married hi daughter, and he never settled 10,000 on the wife of the accused. Mr. Bartlett Wa aha the ad ypted daughter of yoar brother. Witne. No.

De Rutiea to answer the summon of aaeauHtng I'boebe Burton, wife of a builder, residing in Walton street. Chelae. Hy, Lawlea. barrister, appeared for tbe and air. uutton aeiended the aectued.

who wa stated to have bad 12 year' police wrvice. The charge aroae out oi tee pUDjio demonatration against the Leatleys, wbo were recently convicted of cruelty to tbeir children at Clabon mew(, Chelsea. On the night of June 8, when the excitement wa at its heirbt. a larire force of constable, the defendant among them, were employed Iao aerp tue crown near mews moving on. The complainant had gone to the apot, aa (be deposed, to look for her eon.

and according to ber evidence, which was conoLorated, tha delendant violently pushed ber, seized her by the wrist and neck, and caused her to fall and faint. Mrs. Burton also complained that ber lio was cut aou mat voree oi ner I runt iceui were loosened but the could not sav tbat these iniuriea were eauaed the defendant. Tbe defence wa that it wa altogether a case oi miiiueo luentitr. toe accused teinir awar on duty aome conaiderable distance from tbe locality where Mrs.

Burton wa injured. It wai alao said that the complaiLant failed to identify tbe constable the same night when the made a complaint at tbe pohce itation. Air. De llutreo aid he had most carefully gone over tbe voluminous evidence and the police renort. which showed bow fairly and judiciously the complaint waa investigated at the station.

That Mr. Burton wa assaulted by some one wai not denied, but exception was taken to tbe statement that the defendant was tbe man. It would be absurd la case where the police were relied nnou ta disperse a disorderly mob to weigh tbe force which they nted with goldsmiths' Males, but it wa absolutely neceisary to draw the line somewhere. In this ease he regretted to be obliged to come to the coucluiion tbat an amount of force was used by tbe defendant which waa not warranted by tbe occasion. He should impose a fine of 4 and be hoped that in the subsequent inquiry by the Police Commissioners tbe oKcer' previous good service and high character would be remembered.

At Lambeth, Jlamr Dasks, 22, gunmaker. and Fbctbx Daxks, 12, married, were charged with being concerned together in attempting to murder Henry Dank with a razor. The prosecutor, a tall, well built man, stated that he waa a cabdrlver, and lived at Manor Place. alworth. The female Prisoner wa hi wife, and the male prisoner hi son.

They lived with him. On Sunday afternoon, about half past 4 o'clock. ho went downstair to inquire why the dinner wa not ready. He saw the male riaooer pacing tbe room like a maamau. lines asxea nun wcere hi mother was, and hi son replied.

In tbe front room." Witness went into that room and found tbe female prisoner asleep, lie endeavoured to arouse Ler and asked ber how it wa the dinner waa not readr. Hi son then came in and aaid. Father. I am resnonsible for making that woman drunk." Witness said, It's a I very clever ming to do to rob your brother and esters of their dinner," and pushed him on one side. Tba male prisoner then rushed to a corner and picked up a rino ii waa a oiunieen ana made a mow at bi I bead.

Witneia wrenched the weapon from him and the female prisoner then sailed witne by tha neck from behind. Tbe mala prisoner ran out of tba room, but returned with a razor in hi hand, and, stamping hi I leet on the ground, exclaimed, Kow for it." Tbe female priaoner wa holding witness at the time. The lemale prisoner. lou liar." The rrosecutor. re suming his evidence, said the male prisoner attempted to cut his throat.

Witness threw his wife down and defended hi throat with hi arm, which was cut iu two or turee places, xne male prisoner then rushed upstairs and exclaimed. I've done it I've done it." He afterwards. came downstairs again with a poker, but wa restrained by a conatable. Mr. Hopkina asked the prisoner whether they had any questions to put to the prosecutor.

The male prisoner." I was in drink at the time. I am aorrr to sav." The female prisoner declared that her husband palled ber oS the bed and punched ber ion something (hocking." Tbe prosecutor made a strong appeal to his worship on behalf of hi wife, on the ground that, owing to her condition, he did not know what she wa doing. Dr. Peter Harper laid he found the prosecutor suffering from two incised wound, one on the left wrist and the other on the left forearm and one maU incised wound on the right ear. None of the wound were serious.

Mr. Hopkins dis charged tbe female prisoner, but committed the male prisoner lor trial for unlawfully wounding. LA REPORT, July 13. HIGH COURT OF JUSTIC. QUEEN'S BENCH DIVISION.

Wynne bad abeconded. In June, 1894, Prince Victor went 10 vtynne ior another advance. Wynne represented that be would make the advance out of fund in his bands. The fact waa tbat Wynne obtained the advance irom tne aeiaauants. Wynne repaid the ATHMJ due to tbe defendants and received 3.000 from them charging the jewels claimed in tha action with the advance, ire executors did not authorize this in sav W(y.

non compCance with eondition WM fit for the eeriee upon which qcardt, tha surviving pasatorer Mr. H. Richard "2" 4e, a rriauvs i passenger. Dr. RilKLs aaid tbat in this case, partly from want ef material, tbe Board of Trade had no case to make at all.

Tbe busineu of tb Board of Trade in a caee like Uu was, a far at might ba, to enable the Court to form an opinion with all tba material they could obtain irom any socrce wnatevrr. A great deal nroat, of course, be conjecture, and it wa far better that tha Court should draw it own inference than that posaible throne should be put forward. Tbe inquiry naturally divided itself into two leading parts one, bow did thi ship get into tha position in which she wa lost and, secondly, having got into that lamentable and unfortunate pocitioo. bow wa it that there had been such a terrible loa of Ufa He proposed, first of all. to produce evidence a to tha construction of thia hip, and.

or course, they could produce documentary evidence of the history ef tbe ship from the data wbeo ah waa lauuiaeu, out witn regard to the other part of tha investigation, aa to bow she got into the place in which she was lost, the information available was exceedingly Vsre. ,73" Jtowther on tbo a crew of 102 and 143 passrurer. of whom or, I. and two of the new had tren Mve.1. Tbe inormation thew could give was.

La wa afraid, of tbe very leoderest description. The quertennaeter wa off duty at tbo time terause he was not well. Tba urviving eeaman could tell them very little about the course and very little about tbe soundings that were taken. Tbe passerger saved was able to say that sounding were taken at about 8 o'clock, but after that time he also knew nothing about tbe navigation of the thin. Imm.

be waa in the ooneert room until very shortly before tbe ship struck. Consequently, for the intervening two hour there wa the very smallest amount of direct information. There wa some other evidence which might assist tbe Court in arriving at a conclusion, which it waa to le hoped would, have the effect of preventing 'such a lerrentable catastrophe from again happening. There were people from a ship which was passing inside the Passage de Vronveur and from a 1. and O.

vessel which came round ITabant within a few hours of tbe time at which this vessel was I oat, and from a vewel called the Wertber, wbo probatly were the last peojle who saw the Drummond Castle before met ber end. There wa alao evidence from another ship which left La Palm the day before, making practically the same 1 ut.lc ayruuunuau vasue ana pessuiir LlDant some little time after the accident. There were also tatement from fiahrrmcn of the Island of Molene. Tbcre wa also a French naval officer (and he bad to thank the French fJovemment for allowing him to attend) wbo could give them information as to the tide err I currents and the state of the. weather.

Tbe Board of Trade had een in hope that tbe lighthouse keeper at Ushant would have been able to attend, but it. was obviously a difficult thinir to spare men from an im portant lighthouse like that, but their record would be read showing that there was a very dense fog indeed over tha top of the island, so dense that tbe two light houses on that island, setarated only by about a mile and a half and furnished with very powerful lights, were invisible to each other. The light were ahto invisible to tbe syrrn station. A wa usual in inquiries of this nature, a series of questions had been prepared, but the) Board of Trade were open to any arnrceavon aa to any other line of investigation which might be thought desirable on behalf of the person represented. jiu.

jiAKsiiAX. uo you wish us to answer those questions a we generally do Dr. RAIKX. sid he did not wish to express an opinion, but would leave tbe matter to tha Court. There was a terrible list of cases in which investigations bad been held into accident of thi i.

These rock off Ushant, it seemed, took an annual toll some times two or tnree large vessel went sabore there in the course of one year. In the last 20 years there must have been hundred of thousands, if not millions, of money, and Cod alone knew how many live lost on thi terrible part of the coast but these, of course, were matters of public record, and tbe list could be inspected by tbe Court if it was thought necessary. It was how nearly 20 years since a large passenger ship wa lost in very nearly the same place, though in that cae there wa no loss of life, all the paasentrrr beim? saved in th quarter of an hour that elapsed after tbe vessel struck before she went down. As to the question of construction, the Drummoml Castle was built of iron not of teel as more recent easel are at (Jovan, in Scotland, in lr81. Consequently she aa now about 15 vears old.

and that a for a well built iron ahip practically the prime of life. The year 1881 was some ten year prior to the time when a certain committee sat to investigate ine way wmen toe puixneads should niaerd. Evidence would be the Court as to the placing of these, bulkheads, and, although their position might not exactly agree with the recommendation of that committee, the Court would, he thought, probably be satisfied tbat 'the bulkhead were sufficient, for the purpose. The ship was 36tt. long, aod there were no leas than eight bulkheads, of which the neater part came un to the main deck.

Another peculiarity in the construction 01 the vessel, looted at Peside more recent models, was that, instead of having a double bottom or water tanks running all along the bottom, she bad only six email water tanks amidahip. so that if perforation took place the water gained immediate access to tbe interior of tbe hip. Another circumstance which might account for the apid way in which tba vessel sank was that she had little cargo on board, the bold bring, therefore, practically empty and in a condition to fill at once. After the vessel left Las Palma. so far aa the three survivor were able to tell, she did not aeem to have met with m.n.n.1 w.

that observation were not Uken daily lut there I Tjfnitnt 'Vitnes had not considered wa no mean 01 Knowing whether the officer were able i to get an observation on tbe day before the casualty, compartment had been open to the sea. He eould not Lioming nearer to ice lime 01 the accident, u.ey knew 1 Prammond Castle, and errJained her anneawf tha position of her bulxbeed. The vtieel waa built before the appointment of tbo Bulkhead mmttloT.rul ia two ease (cargo hold 1 aad 2) tha spacing rate sad tha bulkhead wai greater than that committee had recommended, but she had additional bulkhead which tbe report of tba committee did not require or rather, I if tha (hip bad been built after tha report of the com mittee. the tulkhead would hire been differently arranged. Witne 1 declined to give an opinion a to whether tbe ship would float if two of her compartment! were open to the era.

thai beinf a matter which, in hi) opinion, must ta decided upon the report of thai Bulkhead Committee. The Drummond Castle waa practically a single bottom ship. If a veaerl had a double bottom and aba waa only wounded in the lowe bottom the upper bottom would be sufficient to keep hey afloat but it wa Doaaibl for a shin ta leu daenle' laden that aha could not carry the addiUonal dead weight. Mr. MAUHAM obeervad that that obeerratioa waa not applicable here.

By Mr. AsMXAXL. Witness built a rood many ahipd under Lloyd' surrey. Lloyd's disregarded the require ment 01 tne committee to some extent, nether in recommendation of that committee should be wa optional witb tba owner. Tbe requirement of the committee generally were baaed upon coal cargoes.

Thar after spaces; including tba engine room and the boiler room, were well within the requirement of tba Bulkhead Committee. Tbe peeing of the (hip according to Lloyd' requirement would have given even longer cargo space than those of the Drummood Castle, which, built ia 18ol, wa at that tune very much ia excee of Lloyd requirement. At that tune only five compartment would have been required, where as the DrmcmoxtdCastla had eight. The deck were of iron sheathed with wood in all cases. Mr.

Ceorge Scott, examined by Dr. Raids, said ba had been naval architect to Messrs. Donald Carrie and Co. since 1872. At the time tha Drummond Castle waa buut very few vessel were built with double bottom.

Iftbe t.uter bottom was pierced the flotation of tbe vessel would be affeeted. With a double bottom aNveserl would, of course, have a double chance. About six year after she wa built the llrummond Castle was fitted with triple ej Under, "but the alteration did not involve material structural alteration. Ia the matter cf bulkhead the vtssel waa above' tha average of vessels at the time she was built, but no doubt, if ahe bad been built since the report of the Bulkheads Committee, the bulkheads would have been differently arrand. The cargo spaeea forward would have been differently arrasred.

and a vessel wa mnn. belle, of course, to be damaged forward by collisino tiian aft. By Mr. J. AsriSAll.

Q.C. Under Lfoyd'a require ment tbe spacing1 might be lonzer than waa. tbe case in the Druinmool Castle. Shirs generally were built to Lloyd' requirement rather than t3 tbe recommendation of the Bui kbead Committee, and any ipecial requirement for paaaenger and mail steamers wa submitted to the Board of Trade, which bad, at present, no power to enforce the Bulkhead Committee's rule. Mr.

Joseph Rolrt Cbamnan. ferrt mental mnnaree for Messrs. Donald Currie and aaid the total coat of the Drumoiond Castle bad been 107,000. For insurance purpose ba was valued at 45,000. of which 1.500 wa insured with outside underwriter.

Tbe crew numbered 102. An average voyage from tbe Cape would 21 or 22 days, giving an average speed of about 12 knots.

Tbe stoppage at La Palmas would be for el out eight hour. There were two classes of boats, the mail and tbe intermediate, tba Drummond Castle being 30 ber third vojage a a ahip of the latter class. It was Captain l'etrce' first voyage in that ship. Tba Drummond Castle left the Cape on May 28 and the accident happrned on June 16. an interval of 19 day and three quarters.

From tbe place where she wa lost La 1 'almas waa distant miles, bach of tbe captain wa furnTahed with a book of printed direction. Mr. Jstne Shanks, urveyor to tba Board of Trade, an ne surveyed uie lirummond Castle for the Hoard of Trade in June, 1893, ami certified ber for a foreign going vessel.

If the boat bad been covered it would have taken from five to six minute to lower them with an expert crew. There were two boat oa the quarter deck, and two forward. Tbe Berthon boat wa packed att under the rail. In dock it wa unfolded and got ready for use in ten minutes. Tbe belts fur the crew were kept in the boat.

No rafts were carried. Ttere were six of Holmes's illuminating lifebuoy oa board. Some of tha buoy were attached to tha bridge ana some to tne ran on the quarter decs; in coor Lord Kelvin I a TOfai utteient lead and vidence of Mr. Marquardt ed line on board, including Lord Kelvin' patent ng of 45 and 75 fathom PPratus. When the surrey was made the that at 8 p.m.

Mr. Marquardt afterwards went into I the concert room, where be remained until half past 10 Captain John Howson said he bad formerly com at night. After a turn or to on deck he went into manded the Drummond Castle, and for 13 years be had the smokinir room. and whilst there ba felt a shock, or I been Messrs.

Donald Currie and marine unenn rather be felt something which gave him tbe impression tendent. Tbe davit wre swung inboard, but could bo that they must have hit some other' vessel a slidioz blow. According to tbe evidence be would give, he went forward to ee what it wa. but saw. nothing to indicate that they had struck, and immediately alter wards he Decame aware that the vessel was very rapidly settling down forward.

Comin? aft be saw that the men were engaged at tha boats, but not apparently taking; much trouble and not appreciating1 how raDidlv tbe vessel wa going down. As giving an indication of tbe time that elapced," Mr. Marquardt went to hi cabin and got a great coat and a Ufa belt. Having done that be went aft. thinking tbat tbe best place, and remained there until tbe ship went from under him and tba water waabed him away.

The (tone 01 the other witnesses agreed with this. Tbe vessel bavinr entirely dis appeared, it was evident that aba must hare gone down in very deep water. Mr. Raikes concluded by reading the following questions, which the Board of Trade desired to submit to the consideration 01 the fgawirt Saa Evilixa Hospital fob Sick Childbix.

On this particular voyage were were two certnon Doat. aim Iirummond Caitle wa fully equipped in the matter of boat, and if she had carried a thousand passenger he would have required no more boat. The boat crew and stations were posted up at the commencement of tbe voyage. He had never stopped the ship at ea for the purpose of lowering the boat.

In coming from La I almas to Lauant tha watch would be doubled at tha entrance to tbe Channel, and bo would expect the captain to be on deck. The paaaenger had lifebelt in their bertha. There was no euetom by whkh tha passengers were trained to go to certain boats in case of emergency. Tbe vessel alao carried a number of patent logs, tbe result of which he had found to be fairly accurate. There were three ehro no meters on board two in tbe chart room and one in the captain' room.

Tbo in the chart room were accessible to tha officers at any time. He bad never beard of trying to make tba passage inside Ushant even in the daylight and in fair weather at night time and in fog it wa 2uite out of tba question. At tha place where tha Irummood Castle was wrecked aba was unquestionably out of ber coursajhad she been 10 or 12 mile to the westward she would have passed tba island clear. As to whether or not there wa time to lower tbe boat, be thought time wa probably loot through those on by tha statute, and were the boat kept so a to be at board not realixing ber desperate condition.

Tba night wa very dark, and be hail no doubt there waa soma confusion on board. Witne was consulted a to tha appointment of Captain Pearce to tba Drummond Castle. Ha thought turn a capable man, and aaid so.

Captain Pearce wa in cbarg af tbo Dunbar Castle last year. There wa no regulation aa ta holding eoaaert on board, but tha officer, were all enjoined aot to bar too much to do with tha paaaenger. Witne had not been to eea for 14 years, aod at that time there were very lew entertainment. Ha did not aee why tba paaaenger should aot be allowed to enjoy themselves if their doing did not interfere with the navigation of (10) Wa tbe Drummond Cattle properly and efficiently the hip.

Mr. AsriXALi, Q.C., took exception to question 9 on the ground that an inquiry whether the master been in command of any vessel which bad been stranded or damaged would to practically an terminable investigation. Mr. Mars HAM aaid be thought tha Court would not go into the question of any other Teasel being stranded or damaged.

Mr. "Asm ALL said the suggestion clearly waa that there might be something in the lata master' career of which the company ought to give an account, and he was instructed to say that if any evidence of the kind wa railed for, tbe companr would be pleased to supply it. But they wished to know definitely what charge, if any, they had to meet, and it was not right that in an inquiry of this kind a sort of roving commission should issue with a view to finding aot whether at aome time of bia life the deceased master bad been guilty ot some indiscretion.
