MR. JUSTICE DARLING S WARNING. ——————— Attempt to Intimidate Judge and Jury. I A CLAQUE" IN COURT. LONDON, Tuesday. In the King's Bench. Division to-day, Justice Darling and a special jury continued the hearing of the action -brought by Sir Alfretl Mond, claiming damages against Henry MacLeod Eraser end Henry Hamilton Beamish for alleged ;Jibei in a poster displayed on March 18th at some premises in Spring Gardens, Lon- don. The poster contained the words, Sir Alfred Mond is a traitor. He allot- ted shares to Huns during the war." An .injunction was obtained against defen- dants, and they then perpetuated the alleged libels. The defendants now pleaded i.ir comment. NOTES OF CASEIN CAMERA.. I Mr. Beamish said the defendants bad served a subpoena upon the Associated Enterprises, Ltd., to bring the shorthand JlOtes of an action by Lever Bros. against runner Mond and eo. The solicitor was :in court, and he (Mr. Beamish) would a the Judge to order him to hand the notes over. The' Judge: What right have you to have them., s Mr. Beamish: Because they are material yto this case. Sir lliward Carson said he knew noth- ång. about that particular case. A solicitor attended, and said he re- presented the Associated Enterprises in Wne proceedings in camera, of which a shorthand note was taken. The solicitor said he was instructed that, so far as Lever Bros. was concerned, he could hand them over, but he would have to leave it jn the hands of the Judge entirely- I The Judge: I understand Mr- Beamish Hants to read them over. You will re- ismain in court, and hand over what por- tion of the notes he wishes. ? rIA ALFRED MONO IN BOX. I i Sir Alfred Mond was further cross- iexamined by Mr. Percival Smith. Witness agreed that, it they were going ifco form a company and they wanted to 'get shareholders, the directors would be prepared to receive applications for chares. When these applications were ibfore the directors they would resolve w hether to allot shares to .any applicant lDr rkat, and tbey would pass a resolution, ■flfkiob wwuld Ite entered on their minutes. iThafc would constitute an allotment of the shares. It would constitute an accept- ance by the directors of the applicants. .5 shareholders in their company. This l jwouid, of course, be provisional, as there ?was a power to cancel. In some cases (said Mr. Smith) the (directors would have to give notice to the allottees. Witness: Yes. Afterwards the directors are bound to -inake a return of the allotments to Som- erset House?—It is nothing to dd with i the directors. The secretary is respon-j Bible for that. Are the Mond Nickel Co. and Brunner Bond and Co. two of the biggest com- panies in the world ?-So big that the directors can't spend their time reading 11;9 share register. Mr. Smith: It is very difficult for me L. cause you won't give me a direct an- ver. Sir Edward Carson: I don't think my friend is entitled to say that. His Lordship: 1 don't think so either. Mr. Smith: I am sorry, my Lord. His Lordship: You ought to beg the ■witness's pardon. COUNSEL BEGS PARDON. Mr. Smith: I will. Sir Edward Carson: Asking the witness these questions does not get on with the case. The question is, whether the wit- ;liag,ss is a traitor. Mr. Smith: Questions were asked as to what was an allotment, and in order "that we should not get at cross purposes 4. have taken Sir Alfred Mond through the salient points with regard to the allotment of shares. TIME WASTED. His Lordship: I think a great deal of time has been wasted upon this point )1pon what is an allotment. The question -?s whether you are justified in saying (what you did. Mr. Smith (to witness): Is it your opinion that the directors are not con- cerned about registration ol I don't think they are concerned!about that. It is net the duty of the board' of directors. It conies down to this (continued coun- sel), that one thing the directors are concerned about is the resolution to allot the shares?—That is one thing the direc- tors have to consider. And that was the one point of all these attacks against you and your fellow direc- tors, the question of allotment and not the question of mgl-,tratiori,-The attack that was made upon me was that I was a traitor. Is your company in the habit of break- ing the law with regard to rendering re- turns of allotments (-1 may point out that I am not connected with any com- pany. You were in 1914 the chairman of direc- tors of Mond Nickel Co., and a director of Brunner Mond. In 1914 were either of your companies in the habit of disregard- ing the provisions of the Act which says that a return shall be made to Somerset House within one month of the allotment? —Not so far as I am aware. Do you know now whether as a matter of fact the Mond Nickel Co. did during 1914 disregard this provision of the law? -No. I do not.. You do not know now?—No. Have you looked at any of the papers of the company since these charges were Jllade f- No. Not at any time. Not when you were asked certain interrogatories to answer on oath?—No, I did not look at any re- cords of the company. Information was supplied to me by my solicitors. Surely you were relying on information obtained from the company?—I daresay 'tiiey obtained it from the company. Questioned as to certain interrogatories that had been put in the case as to knowledge of the matter, Sir- Alfred said he did not think it raised the point at all. Did you see that interrogatory?-l have nevei* seen it before it vas dis- allowed, the Master I understand. Were you ignorant during August, Sep- tember, and October of 1914 of the fact that shares were allotted in the Mond Nickel Co. to enemies P-Personally I did not know that any shares had been so allotted. I do not admit now that any shares as alleged were 60 allotted. Would it help you if I said so far as I any purported or alleged allotment was I made in those months?-I know nothing whatever about it. STATEMENT IN NEWSPAPER. I Were any of the allotments purporting to be allotments of shares to enemies ill the Mond Nickel Company during August, September and October, 1914, brought to your attention since they were made ;-1 have seen some statement re- lating to the purported allotment in a certain newspaper. Have yon enquired of your companyP- No; I see no reason why I should. I think I have asked for information if shares had been allotted to enemies in your Mond Nickel Company during those three months, would it not have been a matter of concern to you ? I was per- fectly certain that nothing had been done by allotting shares to anybody. Would it not have been a matter of in- terest to you if that had been the case r- Yes, it would have been. And if proper legal returns under the Companies A-ct had been at Somerset House showing these facts, would it not have been of interest to you?—Yes, I think so. IRRESPONSIBLE CHARGES. I And when the charge is made against a I responsible Minister of the Crown, that such allotments had been returned, was it not a matter of concern to you ?- t de- pends upon who made the charge a great I deal. I cannot take note of all the ir- responsible charges by i responsible people. Do you regard Mr. G. K. Chesterton as an irresponsible person,-Yes, certainly. Everyone in England does. (Laughter). He is a humorist. (Laughter). His lordship: Is this Mr. Chcstertn. the writer ? Sir Alfred: Yes; he .is the man-who has written all those funny books. {Laughter). Mr. Percival smith: A man who did remarkable service to his country during the war. Sir Alfred: I daresay he has. G.K.C. AND IRELAND. I His lordship observed that Mr. Chester- ton had just written a book about Ireland. Sir Edward Carson: I am glad to-eay I have not read it. iLaughter). Sir Alfred: Neither have I. (Laugh- ter). Mr. Percival Smith The charges were made in Mr. Chesterton's paper, The New Witness "F—Sir Alfred Mond: I did not know it was his paper. I was shown a copy, which was obtained with somp difficulty. You never received one through the post?—I do not know, but if it came, probably my secretary put it in the waste paper basket. (Laughter). His lordship: Did Mr. Chesterton charge the witness with being a traitor P Mr. Pcrcival Smith replied in the affirmative. On September 27th, 1918 Mr. Chesterton had an article in the H New Witness," entitled, Silence and Sir A. Mond." THE NEW WITNESS." j Councel was proceeding to read extracts from the article when Sir Edward Carson observed, Are we to try out every charge the defendants like to put forward P" Sir Alfred was handed a copy of the New Witness," and his lordship asked him if he had ever seen that paper. Sir Alfred: I cannot say for certain that I have seen it. I never replied to it. and took no notice at aifl of it." Sir Alfred added that the 'Daper was one which was always attacking the Lord Chief Justice. As lie read parts of the articles in the paper handed to him he construed \em a? charges against the K??M! aster and not against witness. Sir Edward Carson: And they sav 70?1 are a Tpw. ard that is mrrf4-f- BACK TO BEGINNING. Mr. Justice Darling said it merely brought them back to where they started from yesterday. It only showed that Mr Chesterton knew that Mr. Smith had accused Sir Alfred Mond of treason. Sir Edward Carson: It only comes to getting in the opinion of Mr. Percival Smith whatever that may be worth. I don't know whether he is going to be tailed as a witness. Mr. Justice Darling: I don't know i either- Mr. Percival Smith: I would never have intruded my opinions in this case had not Mr. Hogge intruded them at the outset of his remarks Mr. Justice Darling: All this despite simply comes to this, that Mr Chester- ton was aware, and wrote that he was aware, that Mr. Smith had been to Somerset House, and accuseed Sir Alfred Mond of treason. Mr. Smith then handed Sir Alfred Mond a copy of the New Witness for September 20th, 1914, in which he said there was a similar charge. Sir Edward Carson submitted that this was M illegal way of putting it, ,I t iu,5tice Darling: The orly qu t' Mr. Justice Darling: The only question is when he read it whether he took any steps or not. Any number of papers or articles saying he is a traitor would not prove it. Defendants have undertaken to prove he is a traitor, but articles written or inspired by themselves will not prova i4. Mr. Percival Smit'h: That is not the point I am making. Sir Alfred Mond hp.g said that charges were made against him by irresponsible people Mr. Justice Darling: Who do you sug- gest is making the charges? We have not the least idea whether the people aro responsible or not. Sir Alfred Mond: I don't know who airticle is written by. Mr. Smith: You see it is edited by Mr. G. K. Chesterton, and the usual thing iii, that an editor is responsible for the opin- ions expressed in the leading article. Sir Alfred Mond: No. Mr. Smith: Do you regard Mr. Chester- ton, as an irresponsible person? Sir Alfred Mond: If he edits this paper I hope so. There is an article in the paper by Mr. Percival Smith, and the editorial is apparently based on ifc. Mr. Justice Darling: It puts you m an embarrasing position, Mr. Smith. You know whether you wrote the article or not. Mr. Smith: I did not supply one wvrdj except the article which appears over my signature. (To witness): Now look at my article. Sir Edward Carson: I object to wit. ness being cross-examined on an article written by counsel. It has been plainly evident that these three gentlemen were in a conspiracy to defame Sir Alfred Mond, and being one of the defamers, how can he put questions on it? I never heard such a thing before in a court of justice. Mr. Smith: Which three gentlemen were acting together? Sir Edward Carson: The two defendant)) and Mr. Smith. GIVEN THE LIE. Mr. Smith I say to Sir Edward Carson that is a deliberate falsehood. This re- mark was received with some applause, and the Judge at once ordered the gallerv to be cleared. An officer of the court said the applause came from the back, of th* court, and not from the gallery. Mr. Justice Darling (sternly): Let two or three attendants be posted in the back of the court, and have eevry one out im- mediately who applauses either side. ATTEMPTS TO INTIMIDATE. I Addressing the jury, his Lordship con- tinued There are deliberate attempts to intimidate the court and jury. A "claque" has been brought here to intimi- date either you or me, and it is going to be stopped. If I cannot deal with it otherwise, I will clear the whole court with the exception of those engaged in the case." The Judge thon turned to Mr Smith and said: You have put me in a position which no barrister ever put me in before. By your conduct of this case you are practically making yonrsel* one of the defendants." Mr. Smith You appreciate the difficulty I am in. Mr. Ilogg in opening thought fit to include me in the case. I would riot have referred to my own charges if hl had not done so. A similar statement was made during the injunction proceed- ings, and I made a statement before Mr. Justice .Lawrence, saving I had nothing whatever to do with the publication of these libels, and that; if I had, I would not have accepted the brief. If I had thought the question would come up again, I would have thrown up my brief. ANSWER MR. HOGG," I Mr. Justice Darling: Then yon Rati better leave all your articles and answer ATr. Hogg when you address the jury. It is better for you to leave the defence of yourself. A barrister should keep huB. self perfectly clear in the interests of hIli clients Mr. Smith then passed to a rftyaril4 1914, which he said referred to 300 non-cumulative and 450 ordinary shares allotted tofu. Richard Mond, of Hamburg. Sir Alfred -Mond $Of- h. heard of, but not keen the return. He had already said that up to August 3rd of 1914 no claims had been received trom foreign shareholders. Pressed on thh point witness remarked, "I don't sit in the office every morning watching lor claims to come in." Mr. Justice Darling pointed out that it was admitted Dr. Richard Mond got, on the register on the date mentioned, that he did not claim to be put on and that formal claims were made on behalf of all Fitch shaerholders and received by tho liquidate rand dealt with as directed by the Board of Trade.

The initial meeting was contested on capital lines, Tho4tuaa penning his opponent in his own corner, and getting home on the ribs, while the Chester man also tnixed matters well. In the second meeting Thomas forced the pace, but Griffithe. gave a game display. In the early portion of'the next session the Cheshire boxer did best, but > Jjs Welshman's heavy punches to u body later moro than neutralised matters. Even rounds ensued,'Thomas, if any- thing, just doing best. Griffiths gave a clever show in the middle rounds, Thomas miseing several timee with heavy swing sfor the head. In the closing stages both did extremely well, and at the conclusion ot a good bout the referee'# decision went to Thomas on pointa. I POLICE AT RUGBY. On Thursday afternoon St. Helen's Field—the venue of 80 many famous vic- tories and so many inglorious defeats- will be the enclosure whereon the event of the season—the Swansea Police versus Newport Police Rugby match-will take place. The local officers have been train- ing most punctiliously for the past few months, and have not lacked for kindly advice from old exponents of the game, with the result that raw material has been gradually moulded into something akin to a force to be reckoned with. The H Bobbies" had a preliminary canter with the clever Baycliffe side a fortnight ago, and although they did not display unusual brilliance they demons- trated that they were willing to try. The game served an extremely useful purpose, and as a result defects were remedied. The two towns have been doughty rivals for many years, and the total of victories each has secured stand about equal. The Swansea men are quite optimistic about their chances, but rumour hath it that the preservers of the law from the Usk are dark horses.

HUNDREDS WITHOUT COAL. Swansea Dealer's Statement. Are Swansea people benefiting very much at present as a result of the big coal price drop? A prominent Swansea merchant, spoken to by a Leader" representative on Tuesday morning, said that there had been a fair demand since Monday morn- ing, as a result of which many Swansea dealers were practically with but coal. Men and horses were idle in consequence of the lack of deliveries by the railway ttompanies. although. large quantities have been ordered from the collieries. and are much overdue. The estimated amount coming to Swansea merchants was 500 tons, but through delay there was now very little available, although sidings in Swansea yards are about empty. The coal dealers have received an assur- ance from the Coal Controller that for any stocks they had in hand on December 1st at the old price they would be com- pensated to meet the loss, the Controller of course being satisfied that the quan- tities in the returns arc correct. HUNDREDS WITHOUT COAL. Our informant added that in reply to complaints they had made to the railway companies in regard to the delay, the companies would do their best to effect dplh-edes as early as possible, but the position at. present: was such that there were probably hundreds of people in the town without coal. Speaking to other Swansea merchants, our representative was informed that the -e had been rather a brisk demand, whíi h. however, was rather to be ex. pecteJ in view of the approach of Christ- mas. The only trouble was that through lack o supplies the orders could not be met. GoVSTRTON LUCKIER A Gowerton merchant, however, said that during the pnst week his supplies had been better than they, had been for months. There had been a keen demand for coal at the new price at his office.

LESS BUTTER. Ration to be Reduced. The Food Controller announces that, as a result of his inability to purchase sup- plies of butter from certain sources on which he had counted, the available and expected supplies do not justify a con- tinuance of the- present ration^ without, gunning risk of serioes a :depif .>n of stocks 111 the near future as to make it impossible to maintain any guaranteed ration. He has accordingly decided to reduce the butter ration from l J oz. to loz. per head per week as from Monday. 15th inst. A corresponding reduction will be made in the supplies of butter to esta b- lishments.

MILK STRIKE. Suggestion of Wasted II Supplies. The farmers* strike in West Wales against the action of some of the leading wholesale factors in reducing the price of milk paid to the producer, continues, and both on Sunday and Monday a 6mall proportiolonly of the usual supplies were delivered A the factories of the firms. I The vast majority of farmers who have withdrawn supplies are converting their milk into butter, while others who have I no butter making utensils at their dis- posal are in a quandary as to how to dis- pose of the milk that is daily accumula- ting in their dairies. Inquiries show that a good deal is lng used in feeding calves and pigs. but til-re is reason to fear that a large cluiiitil- at farms in outlandish districts is being I i h row-n awav. FARMERS' CASE. I In a statement to the Press on Monday Mr. Daniel Johns, secretary to the Car- marthenshire branch of the National Farmors' Union, said:—" It is not a fight between the producer and the consumer, but between the producer and the middle- men, that is, the West Wales factories. The West Wales Farmers' Co-operative Society are paying the maximum price to the producer. The Farmers' Union now is fighting j for the principle that farmers, like every other class of people, should know before hand what they are to receive for milk. and not be entirely at the mercy of flip whf)tosaters--t,tie milk jr-, i:r pro- ducers have a genuine grievance in that they were never informed during, the month of November that the price for that month would be reduced."
