13/5 TO 12/9. j 13/5 TO 12/9. j I And Another 3d. May Come Off Swansea's Rate. At a meeting of t-he Swaneea Council Finance Committee on Wednesday after- noon, Mr. F. J. Parker (vice-chairman) presiding, it was reported that C2,90.1 worth of Corporation Irredeemable Stock had been Wld at a profit of £ 777, which went to the relief of the rates. This ar- rangement ended at 31st Starch, The acceptance of a tank by the Ma;os in commemoration of the town's efforts on war savings was reported. I REDUCED RATE DESIRED. At a meeting of the Finance Committee, with the chairman of the committees, Mr. Parker regretted the a-bscncp of the Mayor and the Borough Treasurer in London. The object of the meeting was to see whether they could bring the rate, which stood at 13s. in the Ji for the old borough after last week's reductions, down to at least 12s. gd.-to meet the dire alike of the Mayor, every membe?? the council, and by the ratepayers. To do th t would mean a further reduction of .?15000 or 1 £ ] 6,000. The Deputy Treasurer >Mr. H. H. Mor- gan) said the average rate to be levied through the whole borough would be 12s. I 5.2Sd., but on account of the differential I rating on the old borough and Coekett, the rate on the old borough now stood at ?s.: Cla? at 7s.; Penderry, ;So 6d.; Llan- samlet, 7s. 10d.; Oyptpnncuth, 9s.; and Brynau, 7s. 9d. This also included the Guardians expenditure, over which they had no control. The rate for corporation I purposes was lis. 6d. on the old borough, and an average of 10s. 11.2d. ior the wnole borough. Aid. GWynne said the estimate,, of the Education Committee was the minimum. The Deputy Borough Architect said the great spending departments were the Highways and Health, with £ !>2,000 respectively. Mr. Parker had seen the chairmen of these committees, and they had also said these were the irreduc- ible minimum. PAVING COSTS. 1 There was again a discussion on the i Highways Committee's proposal to spend I £27,000, if the grant could be secured from the Roads Board, for paving of semi- arterial roads, instead of main roads. It was pointed ont that this was not in- cluded in the estimates, and Mr. Merrells said the council was not committed until they had the written assurance that this grant, 9t a le.sser one, was forthcoming. j Mr. Peacock mentioned incidentally that- there was for the next Council meet I ing a motion by Mr. David Williams that the money be not, spent on the roads men- tioned. Mr. Merrelis pointed out that the pav- ing of these semi-arterial roads would greatly lessen the cost of maintenance of three roads in future year*, and so effect a considerable saving-. If they had not paving in the centre of the town, it would cost the town 2s. per yard per annum cn water-bound macadam. The Chairman asked if this rate would prejudice industrils ecming to the tOWII I If so, they ought to sacrifice to reduce the rates. 4 "THE CORRECT PERSPECTIVE." I Mr. Merreils thought every business man would view the matter in the correct perspective. While assessments remained stationary, and the cost of materials rOfi, the rates must go up. Mr. Protheroe argued the need of in- creased assessment, quoting the case of the house built for .£330 and sold for £ 900. Aid. Ben Jones believed the buyvt was | now. having examined the house, willing toscll at £ 750. Mr. Merreils did not-tliink Swansea was in a wfcrse position than the generality of towns. I A STRIKING COMPARISON. I Ald. Ben Joues retorted that there w&s an increase of only lid. in Cardiff's rates ] and 18. Id. in Newport's. I The Chairman: While in Swansea it if, if you make the rate 12s. 6d., 2, lid., and, if you leavt, it at 13s., 3s. 4d. Mr. Merreils asked what the other töwn had done in previous war years to meet increased cost. Last year the Ilighivav5 Committee used only 2,000 tons of road j material instead of 25,000 tons, and now 11 they were suffering for it. It was agreed to make a decrease equivalent to 3d. in the £ on highways expenditure. j REDUCTION OF 3d? I -? rltiuiately the meeting left the making I of the rate open ,asking the Mayor and I the Borough Treasurer to see the Chair- I man of the Health and other Committees not present at the meeting with the 'idea 1 of reducing the rate a further 3d. to 13s. fid. in the €.

GUILTY BUT INSANE, j Verdict in Seton Murder ] Case. J. A LODON, ?Vedne6day.  The hearing was continued at the Old'J Bailey to-day 01 the charge against Lieut.- Col. Rutherford of having murdered, Major Seton by & hooting him on .'?rmary 13th. As the closing stages of the rnai were reached interest in the proc?dinga jntensided, and when tho accused took his seat in the dock the court waa I crowded. Prisoner maintained his cus- tomary coolness, and before settling down to listen to the evidence he tmiiingly l whispered over the dock rail to his solicitor. The case for the defence was continued, and Mr. John Edward Sandilands, doctor of medicine, of Cambridge, and medical officer of health for Keneington, gave evi- dence. In examination by Mr. Travers Humph- reys, 'the witness said, as a oaptain in the R.A.M.C. he served under Col. Rutherford in France for about two years. He had frequent attacks of dermatitis, and suff- ered from insomnia. 1 should say," c-aid witness, that Col. Rutherford was a gq.od tempered man, and in his manner I exceptionally courteous. ILe was exceed- ingly popular with all oiticers who knew I him as he usually wa<, but sometimes he was ??bject to extraordinary outbursts of sudden temper, and these outbursts he I seemed quite unable to prevent or con-' hol- Without any apparent reason he W!?ld address other oiheers with extra- f ordinary suddenness. I CHOKED WITH SUPPRESSED RAGEJ Sometimes he seemed to be choked ?ith supprea?d rage, and h? r was unaccountable to me. I think he suffered from some mental warp. He never mentioned those- attacks and never I expressed any regret afterwards. I never met anything corresponding to this type of lost control as shewn by the prisoner. I have served under different officers, and have been reprimanded on occasions1 by angry officprs-they were generally staff officers—(laughter)—bat I never met anything like this." In answer to the Judge (Mr. Justice Salter), the witness said these outbursts of temper occurred about two or tferoe times a month, and usually took the form oi gross exaggerations of some small matter. If witness had thought accused was unfit to hate taken charge of a hos- pital he'would have reported it, but he did not think that. It OF UNSOUND MIND." I f Dr. T. B. Hyslop" formerly senior physician at Bethlehem Hospitafi, lec- turer on insanity and specialist in mental disease, gave evidence, which was listened v.o with wrapped attention by the crowded court. Having expressed the t opinion that when tie prisoner committed j the offence he was of unsound raind and j understanding, and is in the game con- j dition to-day, t Proceeding, witness said: I saw Col. Rutherford, and asked him why he did I this? What had Major Seton done bf, justify hrm. in taking h-e life?" He re- plied: Major Seton had an evil influence over my children, because I heard in France they were quarrelling amongst themselves." DEFENCE CLOSED. I Ihe case tor the dexence closed. Airs. Rutherford was not called. His Lordship said that while lie wis prepared to sit late if the caile could be completed to- night, he should rise at the usual lime if I it could not be finished. THE VERDICT. I After retiring for a few minutes, the I jury returned to cD=t with a ve-r-di" tf guilty, hut fecund the prisoner was insane I at the time the act was committed.

Medical Association opened on Wednesday in London. Dr. F. W. Mott (BrfVet-Lieut.-CoI.), in a paper on War Neurosis," said shell shock was an un- fortunate term and led to misconception. A great many men who had been re- turned as suffering from shell shock would have been more appropriately desig-; nåtrd shell shy. A soldier who had in- born or acquired emotivity would sooner or later suffer with a psycho-neurosis. The. varied hysterical manifestations were* dtie to emotknMil sbocb. and were crarabte by contra snggestion. The war had produced i no new nervous diseiase. "Sir J. Pnrves Stewart (senior physician, Westminster H().pitaJ) said the term "shell shock should be wiped out cf tllt- vocabulary of every scientific man. It was really molecular abnormality of the nervous system characterised by abnor- rnal reactions to ordinary stimuli. He dc- seriibed seven forois of war neurosis, and said the wonder was that they were not, more common. It said a groat deal for the stamina of of-xoors and men in thi& j oo-untry that they had not been even more common.
