R0WNEY—OEERE. At Bethany Baptist Church, Cardiff,on Wed- nesday, the marriage took place of Mr Fredk. Harold Rowney (son of the late Mr Frederick Rowney, of Chancery-lane, London), and Miss Edith Catherine Deere (yomtgest daughter of Mrs A. Deere, of Princes-street, Cardiff). The ceremony was performed by the pastor of the church (the Rev. W. E. Winks). The bride, was given away by her brother (Mr Alfred Deere), was attended by Miss Deere (sister), and Miss Amy Watts as bridesmaids. Mr B, A. Cameron, of London, was best man. Mr W. J. Williams officiated at the organ, and the church choir rendered selections.

CARDIFF BORSTAL SYSTEM. The governor of Cardiff Prison, in his-annnal report to the Commissioneers of Prisons, states that the state and the discipline of the prison have been well maintained, and the behaviour of the prisoners generally was satisfactory. The progressive stage system and the remis- sion system both continue to afford strong in- ducement to good behaviour and to conduce to a ready obedience todlireiptine. Fifty-five juvenile-adult male prisoners were received during the year. Twenty-four of these cases were transferred to other prisons for treat- ment, thus leaving only 31 for local treatment nnder the modified Borstal rules- He records that the 'J modified Borstal system for the benefit of juvenile-adult prisoners was duly established on the Ist-January of the present year, with the cordial support of the Visiting Committee and lady visitors of the prison, and it is believed that the scheme will become of practical value for assisting these young female prisoners, notwithstanding the usually very degraded type of female prisoners received here. The chaplain reports that thanks are due to Sister Esther, Miss Bradley, and Miss Swain, whose services-as lady visitors, are much valued. These ladies, in conjunction with Mr J. Howard (ex-Governor of the prison), the Governor, and himself form the recently con- stituted local Borstal Association.for female juvenile-adults. The scheme is at present too young for comment, but one has every hope that by its means something definite may be done towards the reclamation of young girls,

HARVEST FAIR AT CARDIFF. .£500 the First Day. Lady Hill opened the second day's proceedings in connection witirtile brilliant Harvest Fair held in the Park Hall this week for the purpose of litraidattng the-debt on the St. Catherine's Parochial Hall, Canton. The Rev. Joseph Baker, introducingher Ladyship to a numerous gathering of workers and visitors, said he was rejoiced to know that the previous day's takings amounted to witbina. few shil- lings of JE500. (Applause.) Lady Hill, who was heartily welcomed, con- gratulated the promoters upon the grand re- sult of the previous day. It gave her great plea- sure to show her hearty appreciation of the excellent work done in the parish of St. Catherine's. Too much was left to the clergy, who had to spend the valuable time they should devote to spiritual work in keeping various parish funds going—work which could very well be done by laymen. Lady Hill was then presented by-little Miss Margaret Haddock with a beautiful bouquet, and on the motion of Mr T. Brarthrwaite, seconded by Mr C. Sankey, was accorded a hearty vote of thanks.

Detective Henry Rosser gave evidence, and Inspector Bingham said since he bad lost the licence of the Tavistock prisoner had taken to betting. A fine of L3 and costs or a month's imprisonment-was inflicted. ->

COTTON TRADE PEACE AGREED. The General Committee of the Federation of Master Cotton Spinners met at Manchester on Thursday afternoon to consider the latest proposals which the Cardroom Amalgamation officials, after conferring with Mr G. R. Ask- with, of the Board of Trade, had submitted to them as the basis for settling the lock-out. The proposals were satisfactory to all, and it was decided that there should be a joint meet- ing of representatives of the masters and the men to settle the points under the Brook- lands agreement, and that the lock-out should come to an end.' The mills will start on Mon day, after having been idle for a week. In a circular issued to members of the Federation, it is stated that the Duke Spin- ning Co., Ltd., will find a situation as a grinder for George Howe, and the Fern Spinning Co. undertake to engage the grinder who is dis- placed from the Duke Spinning Co. The Lord Mayor of Manchester, in a letter to the Press, expresses his desire to make public recognition of the valuable services Mr G. R. Askwith has rendered to Lancashire by the tactful diplomacy he has displayed in his com- munications with masters and men, thus bring- ing about a settlement of this unfortunate dis- pute. i

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1910, NATIONAL MEMORIALS. Many and various are the proposals for memorials to commemorate the reign of King Edward, the Peacemaker, Bristol has favoured an open place and an equestrian statue of the King other towns prefer Parks and Institutions for various humane work. London is in the throes of a decision, which is proving delicate and tiresome work. The Lord Mayor has many advisers, and there are dozens of proposals—all excellent in their way, but nearly all of a sectional char- acter and few answering the conditions of what a big memorial for London should be. Happily, Wales has been united by a proposal to erect a national sanatorium to deal with consumption. Headed by Mr David Davies, M.P., the conference of representative men of Wales accepted the proposal, and the opening of subscription lists was done without delay. A sanatorium for Wales is an excellent proposal, for it seeks to benefit all classes in the fight against consumption, which has been called the white man's scourge or plague. No class is free from its devastation. Rich and poor come under its terrible ravages, and now that it has been proved to be a preventible disease, the race has cause for hope of a successful issue to the battle with the scourge, and this should tend to unite all classes in Wales to make one big national and patriotic effort to establish as a memorial to King Edward a sanatorium. King George approves the scheme, which has been outlined in our columns on several occasions. To pro- vide £300,000 necessary for the sana- torium will require a big effort, and the unity of all sections of the people of the Principality. Of this sum nearly half has been promised, and help is assured by general approval from all sections of the organised workers and various institu- tions. We shall see several organised efforts to collect small sums, and the South Wales Daily News and « Echo" Shilling Fund offers a ready and a simple means of subscribing small amounts. We commend this national effort in a humane cause, to erect a national memorial, and ask for the whole-hearted assistance of the people of Wales.

If the Liberal Party had done no more for the people than to give them the Old Age Pensions it would have earned the eternal gratitude of the workers of the country. For years the pension for the aged was held up as a bait for votes by the Conservative Party, an& taken back as soon as the election was over. When at last the Liberal Party came into power and/gave what the Conservatives pro- mised, there was veiled opposition to the measure and open criticism of the wis- dom of the step. The pension was edged around with diffieulties,and apension was given to the aged but with the pauper bar. A cruel injustice was done to a large section of the poorest and the most deserving of the aged workers of the country who had fallen" by the way in their struggle against poverty and pauperism. The receipt of poor relief deprived the aged of the pension and they were compelled to continue, not as State pensioners, but as paupers, re- ceiving the pauper dole from the re- lieving officers' stations. By one more generous and statesmanlike Act the Liberal Government has changed all that and changed at one stroke the pauper dole into a State pension, payable, not by a workhouse official, but at the Post Office. The Post Office has given notice of the end of the pauper disqualiifcation, which was issued by the Postmaster- General this week. Those who are other- wise entitled to a pension and who have been disqualified in respect of pauper relief are entitled to put forward a claim on forms which may be obtained free from any Post Office in the United King- dom. The disquaHBcatton ends on Dec. 31st next.

The Berlin riots continue to provide terrible reading. The rioting is due to a revolt of the workers against the present high cost of living, and on the employers' side the increased cost of living is admitted, but they contend that they are also affected by it and are not able to make the necessary sacrifices in higher wages to remove the cause of the trouble. There have been more sabre charges by the police, who were bombarded by the strikers with paving cobbles. The German workers' revolt against dear food, caused by Protection and tariffs, is a nasty jar to the Tariffists' efforts in this country to persuade the British workers that in Germany all is well with the worker who is protected by tariffs. The German worker, suffering under a system of pro- tection which increases the cost of his foqd without increasing his wages, has revetted and rioted in a manner unknown in Free Trade Britain since the days of the Corn Laws agitation. Tariffs mean dear food always; the workers know how difficult it is to increase wages to meet the extra cost of taxed food. Germany provides the latest example, and America is seething with discontent.

The Municipal Baby Show promises to become a popular institution. The Health Committee of the Cardiff City Corporation has advised the Council to vote £5 towards a baby show, which Dr. Walford, the Medical Officer of Health, considers a wise step. Babies were brought up to the City Hall once a week to be examined, and prizes would help to make mothers take an interest in the welfare of their children. Competitions in babies may become a big feature of the National Eisteddfod gatherings— who knows ? An Alderman of the City of Cardiff received the proposal of the prizes for the finest babies with some doubt, and observed that our great- grandmothers would be very much shocked if they were to wake up and see that it required baby shows to encourage mothers to look after their children. Many things of the Twentieth Century would surprise our predecessors, for the State has at last risen to the recognition of its greatest asset in a healthy rising generation. We school and feed and medically examine, give the children legal protection, and the interest which is being manifested by Municipalities in the proper feeding and nurture of babies is but beginning with the child before it reaches school.

An Aberystwyth Councillor has a great dread of the Continental Sunday" being introduced in Wales. It is taken for granted that everybody knows per- fectly what is meant by the phrase Continental Sunday," but no one attempts a description. The present trouble is over Sunday boating, and it was pointed out that while the churches of the town were petitioning, against boating for pleasure on Sundays the servants of the Council were doing the very same thing." Aberystwyth was declared to be the very quietest place on the coast for spending a peaceful Sabbath, and if they did not nip these little things of Sunday boating in the bud they would be having a r Continental Sunday." One inquisitive Councillor asked what was the difference between driving horses and carriages on Sunday and rowing the boats on the same day. There are several important 1 matters involved in theq uestion, and they are to be referred to a Committee,

Fifty Years Ago. FRfeM "CARDIFF TIMES." OCT. 6,1860. The Lord Lieutenant has intimated to all the Vohmteer Corps in the county his intention of holding a general review at Margam, on Mon- day, October 8th. We anticipate a splendid gathering. One day last week a Richard Williams brought his disreputable life to a dreadful ter- mination. He had been living as a pretended clergyman and committed many villanies, for which be was apprehended. On arriving at the Northampton Railway Station he got away from the policeman, flung himself under a moving train and was killed Cardiff Races.—Stewards, H.

Bellamy, placed on the retired list; Mr Thomas S. Miller, controller, of Waterford, has been appointed collector at Cardiff. Aberdare Superseding BristoL-This town has been for a long time in a flourishing condi- tion and trade has been slowly increasing here. We understand that a gentleman from Bristol has given an order to a person at Aberdare to supply him with a great quantity of upholstery, etc. This is accounted for, we suppose, by the Welsh make being superior to the Eng- lish.

MORGAN-lEWt8. On Wednesday a pretty wedding took place at St. John's Church, Cardiff, when Mr D. R. Morgan, of the London and Provincial Bank, Cardiff Docks, son of Rev. J. Morgan, Baptist minister, Roath Park, was married to Miss Blanche Lewis, elder daughter of Mr W. Morgan-Lewis, architect. Edward-terrace, Cardiff. Her sister, Miss Lilian Lewis, acted as best girl." The service was choral. Mr Cole. organist of St. John's, played Men- delssohn's Wedding March" as the bridal party left the building. The officiating clergy- man was the Rev. A. Henderson. The best man was Mr J. A. Hughes, Abereani. The couple left by motor-car en route-for Bristol and the South-of England, where the honey- moon will be speot.

RAILWAY TRUCK OEMURRACE. A claim for truck, demurrage charges was heard at Barry Comity Court-on Tuesday, in which the TafF Vale Railway Company sued the Barry Sand and GravelJCampany.Mr T. R. Thompson represented the Railway Company. The demurrage, plaintiff said, was incurred at Cilfynydd Station. The goods were sent in Barry Railway Company's trucks, and it was the duty of the Taff Vale Company to collect the money, which was for demurrage of wagons, and no"t skiing rent. Mr F. P. Jbnes-Uoyd (for the defence): That's my point; it's the wrong party who are suing us. His Honour You are liable fax pay by this contract which you signed. Judgment for plaintiffs for JE5 ISs.

MArHRY MAN'S SUDDEN END. A farm labourer named John Bow«n,.re- skhng with his widowed mother, was found dead in bed at Mathry on Monday, and an in- quest on the body was held yesterday. The only witness was his mother, who said that her son was 52 years of age, and seemed in his usual health on Sunday night, although his breath seemed shorter than usual. He was an inveterate smoker, which she thought affected his health. Some months ago he had some fainting nts. After hearing the evidence of Dr. O'Donnell, Fishguard, a verdict of Heart failure was returned.

NMPLE LEADS TO DEATH. At an inquest held by Mr W. L. Yorath, coroner, at Cardiff on Tneaday, on Arthur Baldwin (37), a coal merchant, who lived at Wimborne-street, Cardiff, it was stated that on the 27th September he came home com- plaining that the elbow of his right arm was paining him. and that the day previous he had scratched a pimple off it. Dr. Timms was caJled in, and Baldwin was removed to the Infirmary on the 29th. He rapidly grew worse and died on October 2nd. Dr. Shepherd at- tributed death to blood poisoning followed by pneumonia. A verdict was returned, accord- ingly.

An Historic House. One of the few remaining important old- time houses left in London may shortly be in the housebreakers' hands. This is Newcastle House, which stands at the northwest corner of Lincoln's Inn Fields. It forms a portion of a site which is to be let on a 99 years' building lease. N ewcastle House was originally known as Powis House, and was the' town house of the Herbert family. It was built in 1686 by William Herbert, Viscount Montgomery and Mara uess of Powis, on the site of a house which was destroyed by fire. Lord Powis for- feited the house to the crown for his adherence to the cause of James II. Then for a time the great Lord Somers became tenant, bringing I with him the Great Seal. The house received its present title by its subsequent sale to Holies, Duke of Newcastle. The shields under the first floor windows indicate the succession of noble and famous men who have occupied it and it is probably the last great house in this once famous residential district to be used for purely residential purposes. -r n >■ in — p NEWCASTLE HOUSE.

Monmouthshire showed embroideries, lace, and carvings, as well as dress materials and tweeds. There was only one textile exhibit, and that by Mr E. B. Roberts, Newport, who showed a modern pattern of light tweed made largely from Monmouthshire wool. Glamorgan- shire showed flannels, dress materials, fancy goods, and pottery, of which there were a number of new designs.

Duchess of Beaufert's Speech. When the Duchess of Beaufort arrived the gymnasium, where the exhibition was held. presented a pleasing spectacle, and a number of ladies in quaint national costume lent colour to,the.se-ene. In opening the exhibition, her Grace, who was attired in a gown of black silk with picture hat and white ostrich feathers, said her husband's forefathers had a closer association with Newport than that which the family now possessed. No one deplored this more than she did, but she was sure no one had ever come to Newport for a more pleasing object than she had come that day, and no one had ever been more kindly received. From the first time the exhibition was mooted she and those with her had been welcomed with the utmost cordiality by the Mayor and Mayoress and by all concerned. She hoped the exhibition would prove a- great success. Her Grace was subsequently presented with a shower bouquet by Miss Dorothy Black- burn (the Mayor's daughter). Dr. Garrod Thomas moved a vote of thanks to the Ducheas, and Councillor Graham White, JJP., seconded. This having been car- ried, Viscount Tredegar moved a vote of thanks-to the Mayor, and remarked that as a matter of statistics they should know how many times the Mayor had responded to votes of thanks given to him. Lady Mather Jackson and the Mayoress of Newport were also presented with shower bouquets. The local officials were:—President, Viscount Tredegar chairman, the Mayor of Newport; vice-chairman, Dr. A. Garrod Thomas pre- sident of the Ladies' Committee, Her Graoe the Duchess of Beaufort-, vice-president, Lad-Y Mather Jackson hon. treasurer, Mr G. R Colbcmrne; hon. secretary, Mr Percy Lay- boorne.

Cardiff City Estates. •EVEL0PMENT SCHEME PROPOSED, Councillor C. F. Sanders, at a meeting on Thursday of Cardiff Corporation Lands Com- mittee, pointed out that the Corporation had valuable tracts of. land in various parts of the city-which would yield good returns if devel- oped by speculative builders. Some of them had been unlet or inadequately remunerative for years. In view of this fact, CounciHor Sanders moved:— This committee strongly recommends the employment of agents to deal with the pro- perties of the Corporation capable of develop- ment upon the following conditions :—(JL.) The appointment is not to be regarded as a permanency, but shall be renewed or other- wise annually as may be decided by the Council. (2) Applications for the appomtenent shall be invited from architects, land agents or estate agents already practising in Cardiff (and not acting as agents for any large-land- owner). (3) Applicants shall be invited to state the remuneration required by way of commission upon the price secured for any property sold through the appointed agent, or upon the annual ground rent ob- tained for any property let upon lease for 60 years or upwards upon the annual rent ob- tained from any property let for any shorter term. The Council shall not be precluded from treating with persons otherwise intro- duced or dealing direct with the-Council, but the land agent shall be entitled to one-half the scaie of commission in such cases. The Chairman of the committee (Councillor < J. StanSeld) seconded, and the resolution was carried unanimously.

TORY DISCONTENTS. New "Cave" Formed. A SPUR TOlAGGAIID LEADERS. The Watchword, Fight! it For some time there has been discontent amongst the rank and file of the Unionist party, which ha»occasionally found expression by representations to the Chief Agent and the Chief Whip, or at other times by means of letters and articles in the Press. Since the rising of Parliament this feeling has become crystallised, and it is now announced that about a hundred active and wealthy members of both Houses, of whom the leading spirits are Lord Willoughbyde Broke-and Mr H. Page Croft, M.P., have formed themselves into an organisation with the object of inducing the leaders of the party to take a more actrve and sustained part in the propaganda work, and also of urging the necessity for exchanging the present merely defensive policy for a definite programme clearly and precis etyindicating the questions on which Unionists, if ce turned to power, would promise legislation. Leaders' Aloofness. I It is declared on behalf of the new gronp that despite the reorganiBations of the party no candidate or member of Parliament out- side the circle of ex-Ministers or special private secretaries ever really meets or sees the leaders of the party, a state of things which, it is urged, tends to create an atmosphere of aloof- ness among the leaders and a sense of stag- nation and slackness in the party. Some of the younger members also feel that the National Union and the Central Conservative Office should be one body instead of being, as they assert, independent concerns. They point out that the National Union has no funds of its own and is entirely dependent on the Chief Whip for all its finances. Furthermore, it is strongly felt the conference between Canada and the United States this month renders it imperative that the Unionist position on Im- perial preference should be made absolutely plain, it being feared that if the Liberal party hold the nextCoIonia 1 Conference the question of Imperial consolidation will be practically destroyed because of the present Govern- ment's unshakable adherence to Free Trade. The sub-committee have drafted a pro- gramme which has been submitted for con- sideration of the leaders. None of the items in the suggested programme constitute, it is asserted, any breach of Conservative thought or feeling. The new organisation feel that un- less some such programme and scheme of im- proved organisation is put into force with the active co-operation of the leaders there is likely to be a repetition of what they say occurred last year prior to the General Election, when ex-Ministers failed to advise the Central Office of their engagements, and spoke about the country without considering the necessities and imperative demands of industrial areas. The movement, it is added, is in no sense hostile to any person or personsbut is prompted by a desire to show that the reserve of activity and force within the party is so great that no fears need be entertained as to the future. The call is for a plain and definite" lead," and the new body claim as their motto, Fight! Fight! and go on fighting

Welsh Bishop's Lament TOO MANY POOR, TOO FEW RICH Education of Church Candidates. The annual Bangor Diocesan Conference was held on Thursday at Barmoutbunder the presi- dency of Bishop Watkin Williams, who, in the opening address, said he did not wish to hide the fact that there were signs that forces were gathering together for an attack on their dearly loved Church. Initiating a discussion on the supply and maintenance of the ministry of the Church, the Bishop said there were two classes of candidates—those who had not means to pay for their own education, and could not, therefore, be adequately trained without financial assistance, and those who had ample private means for their education and maintenance. Of the first class the supply was ample, but the number of candidates jor the ministry belonging to the second class was, he-feared, dwindling all over the king- dom. This was a matter for great-regret and anxiety, though he did not for a moment suggest that the child of rich parents was in any way better fitted for the ministry than the child of poor parents. The-Christian army ought to be recruited from all classes. The Dean of Bangor said the Welsh Univer- sity Colleges were recruiting grounds for the ministry which the Church could not afford to neglect, and they ought to have an income of at least JE800 a year to assist candidates whose parents could not afford the expense of a good education. Rev. Edward. Jones (Holyhead) said it had now become the rule that incumbents should be efficient in the Welsh.language. The only exceptions to it were bishops, deans, and canons, who were a law unto themselves. Judging from appearances ignorance of Welsh was rather a help than a hindrance to climb to the high places of the Welsh Church. (Cries of No.") Mr David Jones (Festiniog) asserted that JEX,000 or £4,000 a year spent on Bangor Cathedral bordered on extravagance when so many deserving objects in the diocese were in need of support.

VICAR AND THE LADY. Rev. E. Hudson's Offences AMAZING CONTENTION. ^Defendant Guilty of Immorality. v The Rev. Edmund Christopher Hudson, vicar of Sutton Cheney, on Wednesday appeared at a Consistory Court of the Diocesian of Peter- borough, at the Old Town Hall, Leicester to answer certain allegations made against him of immoral conduct. It was aUeged that he had contracted a marriage with a lady at Hinckley his wife being alive and he was on this account inhibited by the Bishop of the Diocese the Right Rev. Dr. Carr Glyn. The case came before the Chancellor of the Diocese, Mr A. B. Kempe. who sat with five accessors, three of whom are clergymen and two laymen. The proceedings were taken under the Clergy Discipliue Act, under which an offender is liable to a sentence of deprivation. The prosecutor was the Rev. P. H. Bowers, Rector of Market Bosworth. and Rural Dean, for whom Mr P. V. Smith appeared as Counsel. The Vicar conducted his own case. Mr Smith, in opening the case, said there had been some suggestion that the proseeutor was actuated by vindictiveness. That was not so — the prosecutor undertook it as a duty, and in fact he claimed that he was doing a public service, not only to the Church, but to the community at large, in the interests of the Church, of religion, and public morality. One of the allegations was that the defendant was living with a woman as his wife without being mar- ried to her, and the other was the extraordinary charge that he had gone through a ceremony of marriage with this woman which was abso- lutely illegal and void. The two charges were aggravated by the fact that the defendant had a wife living. Gloated in the Acts. The extraordinary part of the case was as he-understood it that defendant did not at tempt to deny the charges, but rather gloated in these acts. That would render it unneces- sary to bring forward some evidence which might otherwise be required. By the admission of defendant himself he had gone through this alleged ceremony of marriage. It was alleged that between 26th June and 16th July the de- fendant had lived at the vicarage at Sutton Cheney with a woman who was of foreign ex traction, he not being at the time married to her. He had been abroad a few weeks, and he returned to the vicarage with this woman. and the two from the k time he came back oc- cupied the same bed and that he treated her generally as his wife and had committed adultery with her. The offence was aggravated by the fact that he had a wife. alive. Even if he had been a bachelor or a widower there would have been an offenee under the act, and it would be sufficient to render defendant unfit for holding a cure of souls in the Church of England. It was further alleged that on the 3rd July at Hinckley or some other place in Leicestershire the defendant in the presence of a, witness signed a document purporting to be a contract of marriage with this woman, and that he had placed a ring on her finger. The defendant had technically avoided committing bigamy, because it had been decided that a man could not perform the ceremony of marriage himself. For a clergy- man of the Church of England to go through such a ceremony, even if in mockery or joke, would be a serious offence, but according to defendant it was not a mockery. He treated it as a serious act. Whether he bad persuaded this unfortunate woman that-it meant something, counsel said he did not know. The woman, being of foreign extraction, the precumption was that she was deceived by it. Such a mock ceremony was immoral, however the fact might be. Ernest Harold Chambers, a solicitor from Hull, gave evidence that Mrs Norah Hudson, defendant's wife, was alive. Ada Smith, a widow, who had done work at the vicar's house, said that in June the vicar was away from home. On the 26th she went to the house at 9 o'clock in the morning. Mr Hud- son opened the door, and she went into the kitchen. He afterwards came downstairs and asked her to take the French lady's breakfast upstairs. She did so. "These Prurient Questions." Counsel: What did you see ?—I saw the French lady in bed. What was Mr Hudson's condition ?—He was partly dressed. Mr Hudson: I beg-to ask in what capacity this gentleman asks these questions ? The Chancellor As counsel for the prosecu- tion. Mr Hudson: By what right does he ask these prurient questions ? The Chancellor: The questions which he asks are quite lawful. Mr Hudson Yes. quite lawful, undoubtedly, but not quite moral. Witness, continuing, said that Mr Hudson was in his shirt and trousers. The lady was in her nightdress, and he put his dressing-gown round her.La ter in the day witness was speaking to him, and he said something about his wife. She asked, Are you married, then ?" and he replied, No, but I shall be in the course of four or five days." Replying to questions from Mr Hudson, wit- ness said that Mr Hudson sometimes slept in his son's room. The Vicar questioned witness whether she saw any immorality in his washing in the room and taking off his nightshirt there, hut the Chancellor said it was for the Court to form a judgment upon the matter. Witness, re-examined, said she made up no other bed in the house on that occasion. Lilian Edwards, living at Sutton Cheney gave evidence that on an occasion in July when she made the bed which the French lady occupied, Mr Hudson's nightdress was folded up on the bed. On that occasion the vicar hid his lady wished her to clean the range. Did he always call her his lady ?—No, he called her Mrs Hudson. Churchwarden's Queries. Mr George Abell, a former-churchwarden at Sutton Cheney, spoke to an interview with the vicar in reference to rumours about the vil- lage. The ricar asked, What is it ?" Witness said, Is it true you are married to this French lady 1" He replied, Yes," and he added that the marriage took place in a private house at Hinckley. Witness asked if his first wife were alive, and he said, Yes." Have you had a divorce Tn asked witness, and the vicar replied No, and I do not intend to get one." John Thompson, a Sutton Cheney church- warden, said the vicar had also admitted to him that he was living with the French lady as man and wife. He admitted his first wife was alive. Letters which the defendant had written to the Bishop defending his conduct, which have been published, were read. An article which had appearred in a magazine signed by defen- dant were also read. In this defendant pointed out his wife had deserted him. and he defended his course in going through the marriage ceremony with another lady. Rev. J. W. Talbot was called to prove de- fendant's handwriting. Defendant questioned him on whether a marriage was a sacra- ment, and on the Chancellor object- ing defendant said it affected the happiness of a million and a half of people, and he did not see that the matter should be smothered up. Later the vicar was asked to produce a document, and he said, I will pro- duce it in my private capacity. I do not by so doing acknowledge the authority to obey its mandates. Throughout these proceedings have been of an illegal character." The Chancellor resented this rf mark, and said the Court was a perfectly legally-con- stituted Court. The case for the prosecution was concluded, and the Court adjourned temporarily. "Second Marriage Justified." The vicar after luncheon called the prosecutor and put questions, which the Chancellor held were inadmissible. Without calling evidence for the defence, Mr Hudson then addressed the Court. He protested against what he termed the stifling of what ought to be a beneficial inquiry into the present law upon marriage. He was pro- ceeding to sketch the history of marriage when the Chancellor informed him he must confine himself to the charges against him. He denied he had been guilty of any immorality in reality. He proceeded to argue that his wife having deserted him his marriage with her had ceased, and he was justified in the second marriags. The Court found the defendant guilty of the charges of immorality made against him. The Chancellor said he would made a report to the Bishop, and the Court would at a future day pass sentence.
