REPORT OF DRILLING
OPERATIONS.
The following report contains a short review of the progress made during the past year with the drilling operations which have been carried on by Messrs. S. Pearson and Sons, Ltd., on behalf of H.M. Government in Derbyshire, North Staffordshire and Scotland. The position at the end of 1918 was that 11 drilling sites had been selected, in Derbyshire, 2 in North Staffordshire, and 2 in the Midlothian dariet of Scotland. Actual drilling had, however anly commenced at three of the wells.
All the sites were selected as a re sult of careful geological research in order to test the most favourable geological structures and prepara. tions were made to carry the walls down to a depth of 4,000 feet if ne cessary.
DERBYSHIRE:
The general geological structure for all the wells is similar, but they are not all situated on the same fold. The general anticline is split up into a number of danca of which Iron ville Nos. 1 and 2 are on the most southerly; Hordstoft and Heath on another Brimington on a third: and Ridgeway and Renishaw on the most northerly dome.
In order to make a thorough test of the Derbyshire district, a chain of seven welle was planned covering a distance of approximately 20 miles.
at Ironville No. I and No. 2 and were Brimington shows of oil met with in this foring In the case of Hardstoft, oil ocurred near the junction of the limestone shales and the carboniferous limestone, and drilling was continued 50 feet into the carboniferous limestone in order to test whether the production could be increased by deeper drilling. As no further increase was obtained, drilling operations were stopped on June 28. Both of the most Southerly well-Ironville Nos. 1 and 2, have reached the carboniferous limestone, and in both cases shows of oil were met with at approximinately the same horizon as at Hardstoft, al- though not in commercial quantities, Drilling was continued at both wells further into the limestone, with the interesting result that at Ironville No. 1 further shows of oil were met with after the drill had penetrated nearly 500 feet into the limestone, The position at Ridgeway, in the extreme north, is that this well has reached the limestone without having so far encountered any signs of oil.
NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE..
The two wells in this district are about 8 miles in the neighbourhood

INJUNCTION GRANTED.

Joe Beckett, the well-known boxer, and his manager, Mr. Bernard Morti mer, of East Pak-terrace, Southamp ton, were the parties to an action in the Chancery Division on January
23.
Mr. Mortimer sought an injunction to restrain Beckett from infringing an agreement dated January 14, 1914, by entering into any boxing contest other than through plaintiff.
Air action is also pending in which Mr. Mortimer claims £3,904, moneys alleged to be due under the agree Tent, and money lent and expenses paid.
Mr. S. H. Emanuel, K.C., for Mr. Mortimer, said the agreement gave Mr. Mortimer full power to make all engagements for Beckett, Mortimer -to-benefit to the extent of 50 per
