EXPLOSIVE HAIEWASH. COURT HAIRDRESSERS FINED.

At Westminster Police Court, before Mr. Sheil, Jlfr. iouis Fradin, 29, St. George's-plaoe, Kuightsbridge, and ilfr. Frederick Charentre, 20, Sloane-street, Court hairdressers, were summoned by the London County Council for storing a quantity of petroleum in a manner contrary to the regulations and without a lieence.

Mr. Godfrey, who prosecuted, said the proceedings wore the outcome of the recent case of nsing oxplosiva hairwash by which a lady lost her life. In consequence of what transpired at the inquest, the County Council inspector had been visiting various hnirdressinsr establishments at tho West end, where this exnlosive wash had been used, but which it was onlv fair to defendants to say had, by them, been discontinued since the accident. Persons who kept this explosive wash, except as petroleum, with the precautions required by the Act, were liable to penalty of 20. It had been ascertained that the flushing point of this wasji was only UOdog.

As a matter of fact it will go off at a less degree than that. All petroleum of this sort must, according to tho licence tinder the Act, bo kept in stoppered bottles of only a pint capacity, and it must be for private use or for sale only using it as a hair-wash in a public nlace on customers' heads in exactly tho same way as' it was used in thecasoof tho lady who lost her life was clearly an illegal procoedmg. Mr. Shiel agreed that it was neither private use or sale. The onlv question would appear to be the penalty.

Mr. Godfrey said as these wero the first prosecutions a heavv ponalty was not pressed tor. Besides, defendants" had discontinued the use ot this terrible antiseptic shampoo, as it wan known in the trade. Mr. Shiel I should think that no one in thoir senses would allow this wash to he usod after the revelation wo have had.

Mr. Godfrey I am sorry lo sav. sir. That a ceriain well-known firm at the Wost-ond 'actually commenced using this wash after this terrible accident, bocnuw it was a source of great profit. They bad never used it before the explosion.

Defendants said thev did not know tho dangerous of tho wash. It was called Antiseptic French Shampoo. Mr. Godfrey said Mr. Wade, the inspector, found a number of vessels containing the wash on the promises of both defendants.

Mr. J'radin I put it in a collar, and now 1 want to know tho best war to get rid of it. Had I better pour it down the drain Mr. Shoil You lied better get nci of it, because if there is any further offence the penalty will be very high. A penalty of 20s.

and two guineas costs iii case was imoosed. ALLEGED IMPOSTOR'S REVENGE. f'onorvc Xolan, 30, described as of no occupation or fixed abode, was charged, ut Southwark, bel'oro Mr. Fcmvick, with attempting to obtain 3 on Ai'trust from Mr. Richard Manifold, with intent to defraud iiini.

On July 30 ho received a letter from Havre, purporting to conio from his brother, who had been missing for a number of years.

Yesterday, Mrs. Catherine Kroll sought to obtain a judicial separation from her husband, Mr.

Paul Carl Ludgwig Emiley Kroll, on tho ground of his cruelty, which was denied. The Petitioner said she was married in 1880 at St. James's Church, Piccadilly, in which thoroughfare they afterwards resided. Two or three days after the marriage Mr.Xrell threw a glass of wine at her, and trom that lime treated her cruelly. In December, 18b-, lie came home from the club about three o'clocK the morniug, pulled her out of bed, and struck her.

He had been drinking. In consequence of tins cruel conduct sho prematurely gave birth lo child. Although ha expressed sorrow for his conduct, ho continued the cruelty. In ISM petitioner and her husband wont to Argentina. On tho voyage out bo belmrod stupidly." Among other things, ho would speak abruptly to her at table before other persons, and tell her to "shut up." Again, when she laughed he would ask whothor she wan in pain.

(Laughter). Finally they arrived at their destination, where ho struck hor with a raw hide whip, bruising her shoulder. Cross-examined: When she married Mr. Krell ho was fifty-eight of ago she was twenty. He at tho time win a very rich man, and had an estate in Argentina.

She could not say she married him for his money. The Petitioner admitted that she entertained at her house in the Araeuliue a number of young man. Mr. Carson Is it true'you had a party of forty-two at dinner on Christmas Day Thirteen. It was true that sho commenced proceedings in the Argen tine Divorce Court, and tnat a lew uays after their marriage she left her husband for a period of six weeks without letting him know her whereabouts.

Previous to her marriage she had a tobacconist's Bhop in Coventry-street. Whou in Argentina she admitted driving out sometimes with her sister and young men. A Mr. Bradloy was one of them, and to this gentleman Mr. Krell had objected.

It was true her husband's income dwindled down from 10,000 a year to about -000, but this was owing to bis giunbliug aud foolish speculations, Tha petitioner's sister having given evidence, the Court adjourned. A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER'S PETITION. In the Divorce Division yesterday tho case of Morley v. Morley, Rhody. and Cai'r wns a petition presented by the husband, a commercial traveller, praying for tho dissolution of his marriage on the ground of the alleged misconduct of bis wife with the two co-respondouls.

Rhody wns formerly an hotel proprietor at Stratford Carr was a workman. The respondent and Rhody denied the allegations made against them, and tho respondent made counter-charges against the petitioner, which ho denied. The parties were marriod in 1SS2 at Bethnal Green, and there were eight children. Ernest Reginald Morley, the petitioner, gave evidence. Several witnesses spoke to the visits of the co-respondents to the respondent.

The service of the citation was proved on Carr, who admitted the allegation to be true, but when the citation was served on Rhody at a public-house in the Borough he iloniod that he knew anything about the allegation it contained. Mr. G. M. Martin, managing clerk to a firm of solicitors, stated that, contrary to the evidence- given early in the case, tho respondent's case had not been undertaken by the West Ham G-uardians.

His Lordship finally granted a decree nUi with costs against the two co-respondents, the same time remarking that a satisfactory explanation had been given as to the reference to the part the West Ham Guardians were said to have taken in the matter. A denial had been given to the statement made aud it was necessary to refer to the evidence. The petitioner was allowed the custody of the children of the marriage. A COMPANY PROMOTER DIVORCED. Yesterday, before Mr.

Justice Barnes, the case of v. Sscretun came on for hearing. Tina was a petition presented by the wife preying for tho dissolution of her marriage on tho ground of tha bigamy and desertion of her husband, Mr, Archer J. Secretan, company promoter, carrying on business in tho City. Prior to the evidence being given, there was a discussion between the counsel whether the Court had jurisdiction to dissolve the marriago, which took place in Canada.

As it transpired that her husband did not intond to offer opposition, the suit proceeded as an undefended ono. Mr. laderwick said tha petitioner was a Canadian. She made the acquaintance of the respondent in Canada, and was married to him in 1888 at Toronto. In 1889 the parties wero in England, tho husbaud being of English extraction, and domiciled here at the time of the marriage.

They lived in England down to tha time of filing the petition. The petitioner went to Canada to see her parents. The respondent also visited Canada and brought petitioner back to England, and ultimately a house was taken at Hove. The first intimation that the petitioner had of the American divoroa was from a letter the respondent sent to petitioner's Bister. A divorce in America was obtained by the respondent on the ground of cruelty.

It also appeared that the respondent married Mrs. Fowler in October, 189i, and since that time the respondent had continued to live with that lady.

Some correspondence has passed between the "Service Committee of the House of Commons and tho Prime Minister on the subject of the condition of the army, especially the army at home, which the members of the Servico Committee believe to be exceedingly unsatisfactory. It has been clearly shown, they say, that the battalions of infantry on the home establishment are not fitted for the small expeditions which are so frequently necessary, and we doubt whether the existing organization is calculated to furnish an ellicient army in the event of war of any magnitude. The battalions which are first for Borvice are to a large extent composed of immature soldiers, deficient in the age and stamina necessary to enable thein to endure the hardships of a campaign, and these battalions are incapable of taking tho field without the addition of large drafts from other regiments or the calling out of the reserve.

Tho Horse anil Field Artillery have also been reduced to a condition oven wor30 than that of the line a fact forcibly demonstrated by the results of the recent despatch of three batteries to South Africa.
