Commission.
The verdict was that the Germans! had not committed any breach of international law, and the Com- mission commended the chief medical officer, who, it is stated, was ill at the time.
The case of the shooting of three French prisoners at Mannheim Camp was then dealt with. They were talking to someone when, it is alleged.. they were shot by a sentry. On behalf of the sentry, it was stated that something went wrong with his rifle.

It was declared, however, that the sentry was suffering from nerves. and that he had been in a perve hospital, and again in this case the matter was decided in Germany's favour.

PLAYS BEHIND THE LINES.
An action arising out of the hire of theatrical costumes for plays produced by the 40th Squadron of the Royal Air Force in France was heard recently in the King's Bench Division..
The plaintiffs were Messrs. L. and H. Nathan, theatrical costumiers, of Piccadilly, and the defendant Captain William Morrice, who at the time of the production of the plays was Mesa President of the squadron.
Mr. Doughty, for the plaintiffs, stated that the plays were produced behind the lines during the 1917 New Year festivities. The plays
Were
"The Inca of Perusalem," "O'Flaherty V.C.," which was written by Mr. Bernard Shaw specially for the occasion,
Henry V."
The costumes were hired for one month for £50, but they bad not been returned. They were worth £150.
Captain Morrice, said counsel, told Messrs. Nathan that Major Robert Loraine, the actor-airman, was inter- ested in the production. They beld Captain Morrice entirely, responsible for the return of the goods or their value. They would not have given credit to the 40th Squadron, because a squadron of flying men was an elusive body. (Laughter.)
Captain Morrice said he came home on short leave in December 1915. He had instructions from Major Loraine (his commanding officer) to go to the plaintiffs for costumes for the plays, and to Mr. Bernard Shaw to arrange about the costumes for "O'Flaherty." He only acted under instructions when he ordered the costumes. He left the squadron in March 1917.
In cross-examination he said that his personal share would be one- twentieth.
Mr. Justice Greer; No doubt the others will be prepared to bear their share.
Captain Morrice: About two- thirds of them are killed.
gave
Major Robert Lorraine evidence that Captain Morrice acted
on behalf of the squadron.
Judgment
was given for the
plaintiffs for £140 and costs..
