DISCHARGE GIVEN NORTHLEW MAN WITH EIGHT CHILDREN Frederick John Smalc. Formerly engaged as a farmer at Higher (iarh'uish. Northlew, was grante 1 his discharge from bankruptcy by Judge Lias at Plymouth County Court esterday, the order to be for one month. Mr. G.

Seagar, of Okehampton, appeared for the applicant The Oflicial Receiver Mr. A. N. F. Goodman) reported that deblor became a bankrupt in March, J932.

A dividend of 3s. 2yd. had been paid on proofs amounting to £812 3d. Mr. Goodman directed his Honour attention to what he (the Official Receiver) submitted were intentional inaccurate statements concerning debtor's financial position, made in reply to questions by his bankers.

Replying to his Honour, applicant said unless he obtained his discharge he could not obtain j. small holding for the maintenance of himself and his eight children, under the age of 15. He was a widower. His Honour stated that in normal circumstances the fact that these representations to the bank were untrue would affect the application for discharge, but there were certain circum- stances in this case which were other than normal. PEDIGREE PIGS INCREASE IX PRINCE'S DUCHY FARM HERDS? Pig breeders throughout the country received with gratification the news that the Prince of Wales has been elected a member of the National Pig Breeders' Association.

To the Westcountry in particular it is a significant pointer, for it is understood that the Prince intends to establish herds of pure bred Large Whites at the Duchy Estate at Stoke Climsland. At the present time there are six pure brad sows, one boar, and about twenty gihs, all Large Whites, on the farm, and it is probable that this number will be augmented shortly from the stock at the Nottinghamshire farm. though no official intimation has been received at Stoke Climsland as to what is to become ot the Large Whites at that establishment, the stock of which is to be sold in September. Inquiry at Stoke Clirnsland yesterday elicited the information that no official intimation had been received regarding the future as to increased nerds of Large Whites, but there is no doubt that the Prince intends to concentrate on breeding pedigree stock on the home farms and that the Large lutes will be increased seems certain.

Immense areas of forest and pasture land in tiie Portuguese provinces have caught tire iv the severest heat-wave known for twenty and they are blazing unhindered, lack of water making it impossible to fight the flames. Panic is growing among the population.

In one region in the Cabrcira Mountains and at Valladas lire has been raging eight days, and many hundreds of acres have been Jaid waste. The flames have reached several villages, more than a score of houses having been burned down at Boticas and seven buildings, including two factories, being destroyed at Vieira. The outbreaks are partly attributed to sparks from railway engines falling on vegetation parched by the scorching heal. The intense heat unabated. The thermometer has risen to over 105 degrees in the shade at some spots, and thousands of people have found it HE possible to remain indoors at night.

THE MODERN CITY TO THE EDITOIt Ob' THE WESTERN iiORNIN'U NEWS." am sure citizens of Plymouth will appreciate the desire of the City Fathers to maintain cleanliness in the the passing 0 the by-law affecting the control of dogs. Having gone thus far, however, they should now get busy and ee to it that the necessary steps are taken to make it an offence for any person to leave milk bottles in the street all night, or for them to leave broken bottles or jars either on the footpaths or in the roads. Surely this is far more dangerous to the community, yet no steps seem to be taken against the offenders. On Sunday morning last I noticed in one road ho less than tnree broken milk actually on the and there they remained until Tuesday morning. What about the danger 0 children and infirm persons should they chance to fall on the broken glass? i this too small a matter for the consideration of the City Fathers? Then, again, when they have time could not the City Fathers make a bylaw to prohibit future Mayors from riding on circus coaches.

"DEATHTRAP' AT HONITON STATIONARY VANS JN STREET STORY OF LITTLE GIRL'S DEATH rjMIE presence of stationary vans or vehicles outside or near the entrance of Foundry-yard into Honiton High-street was criticized by the jury at the Honiton inquest held by the East Devon Coroner (Dr. C. N. Tweed) yesterday on Irene Kate Larcombe, 2, Rosy-cottages, Honiton, who died on Tuesday from injuries received in a collision in the Highstreet with a car driven by Mrs. Cecil Mary Gleadowe, 7, College-street, Winchester.

Deceased, aged 'J, came from behind a stationary van and was knocked down. The van was some distance from the yard entrance, and the jury said their remarks did not apply in that insta.ite. They felt, however, that stationary vehicles near the entrance made the place a death-trap, and the police might see they did not remain there as long as it was suggested they did at present. A verdict of Accidental death was returned and the driver cf the car exonerated from blame. Mr.

J. McGahcy, instructed by Mr. T. Phillips, of Messrs. Phillips and Every, Honiton, represented the driver of the car.

Ernest Larcombe, auctioneer's assistant, father of deceased, said he heard a crash, and running into tho road saw the child lying in the roadway badly injured. NOT OUNCE OF BLAME." Jack Wensley Chapman, speedway rider, Sa, Hope Drive, The Park, Nottingham, deposed that he was following a car down High-street towards Exeter. It was travelling at 15 to 20 miles per hour and about 25 yards in front of him. On the left-hand side of the roadway was a large lorry stationary, and as the car passed this witness saw a figure of a child dash across the space between the two vehicles, coming from behind the lorry. The child seemed to be right in front of the car before the driver could do anything.

The drtver swerved to the right, and the child was evidently knocked down anu caught up by the car. The vehicle then hit sonic wooden posts on the right-hand side of the road and ran along the edge of a drop. It was fortunate it did not turn over, une of the posts was knocked down. In answer to Mr. McGahey, witness said there was not an ounce of blame to be attached to the driver.

Thomas McCabe. lorry driver, 26. eststreet, Wilton, said the child dodged across the road without looking right, or left, running straight in front of the car, which was being driven at a moderate speed. No one could have done more than the driver. Augustus George Slade, 98, Cromwellroad, Winchester, garage proprietor, said on Monday Mrs.

Gleadowe requested him to look over the car, anti among other things he attended to the brakes, testing them and finding them in order. SIGNAL TO SLOW Supt. Willcocks stated that he saw the car travelling down High-street at about 35 miles ncr hour, and signalled it to slow down. No notice was apparcntlv taken, perhaps, as he was in plain clothes. He saw Chapman's car following but thought it was about 50-75 yards behind.

He did not think the wheels of the car passed over deceased. Mrs. Gertrude Lilly, West-end. Highstreet, Honiton, said she saw the child cross the road behind a stationary van. She looked up and down the road before crossing, but her range of vision must have been limited as there was a large lorry standing behind the van.

Mrs. Gleadowc estimated her speed at 15-20 miles per hour. Deceased came into the road a few yards in front of the car, and she immediately braked hard and swerved to the right. The child hesitated, but ran on, and was struck. Dr.

D. Steele-Perkins, Honiton, said death was due to hemorrhage of the brain caused by a basal fracture of the skull WESTERN PILCHARD FISHERY The drift pilchard fleet returned from Mount's Bay and Wolf grounds with light fishing generally, catches varying from 10,000 to a few' hundred.

RICH WIDOWS DEATH ALLEGED MURDER CONFESSION DENIAL OF THIRD DEGREE METHODS FROM CUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. MANCHESTER, Thursday. THE first full story of the wealthy Manchester jewish woman deatli, after being found with a battered head at the open window of her residence in Cheeiham Hill-road on the afternoon of July TJ, was told to the Manchester magistrates today, when William Buitolt, aged 47, of no settled abode, was charged with the wilful murder of Frances Levin, aged 01.

Air. J. Hoys, prosecuting, said the maid ol the, riouse left her mistress in the dining-room reading a novelette, as usual, while she went sewing in the kitchen and her bedroom. There were no other persons in the house, and the first suspicions of the tragedy were when the maid, an hour later, found a. bloodstained poker and cricket shirt in the kitchen.

She immediately summoned an electrician, who was repairing a motorcar next door, and he found Mrs. Levin lying on the settee in the dining-room with her head battered. She opened her eyes, moved her head, but could not speak. She died the same evening. The maid, Miss Phillips, later recalled seeing a man of medium height and build passing along the side passage as she sat sewing in her bedroom, and gave a description, which the police circulated.

After an extensive search over a wide area prisoner was arrested at Hyde, Cheshire, on July 27. PICKED WRONG MAN. Next day the maid saw an idenlilication parade from an upper window, and picked out a man who was not the ctCC VISGCI Cross-examined by Mr. Boyd Hotchen, for the defence, the maid said she could not see the faces of the men at the identification parade. She was not surprised at seeing a man walk leisurely through the side passage of the house, as a man had been calling of late to consult Mrs.

Levin's brother about chickens kept in the back. Detective-Inspector Page read a statement alleged to have been made to the police by accused, in which he said I admit being the murderer of Mrs. Levin. Owing to drinking methylated spirit and also to the maid being where she was the old lady lost her life. I was cool, calm, and collected.

Of course, when I got in the front room there the old lady got up and asked who was this. And 1 went back and get the poker off the fire range and struck her repeatedly. I was" not three minutes or so in the house. I was selling discharged soldiers' cards. Big Bertha will tell you left her to sell some.

I had no intention to do it, I did it. I was sorry when I thought about it after. After I did it I took the poker back into the kitchen and wiped it on a shirt to remove any finger prints." NOT GIVEN WHISKY." Inspector Page said there was no sign of a struggle in the dining-room to open the handbag. The purse was found to contain only a bent penny and a miniature horseshoe. He had been told that the purse previously contained about nine shillings.

The mark of a bloodstained hand was found en a settee cushion, and there were marks on a cricket shirt which suggested that it had been used to wipe the bloodstained poker. Inspector Page denied suggestions made for the defence that the alleged statement by prisoner was obtained by inducements. He said that nothing was written by Burtoft complaining that he had been sunjected to third degree methods and could stand it no longer. He was not told that it would be better for him if he told all he knew, and he was not given whisky, with a promise of more. Detective-Inspector Willis bore out the evidence of Detective-Inspector Page.

When asked by Mr. Hotchen concerning a bottle of whisky, witness said he never saw any. Prisoner was committed for trial. He pleaded Not guilty and reserved his defence.
