CHURCH SCENE
DISTURBANCE AT A SERVICE
WOMAN'S OFFENCE
At Stratford Police-court ence Partridge, aged about 50, of Essex-road, Leyton, was summoned at the instance of the Rev. Harold Einion Tilston, vicar of St. Mar garet's Church, Leytonstoria, for using insulting words or behaviour with Intent to provoke a breach of the peace on Nov, 11.
Mr. N. A. J. Cohen, for M. Tilston, said the offence was com- mitted on Armistice Day at St. Margaret's Church. Since last August defendant had written letter after letter and many postcards in most offensive terms, making sug. gestions against the vicar which had not the slightest foundation.
On the evening of Armistice Day there was a special service, with a procession round the church. As the procession passed defendant she put out her foot and shouted almost at the top of her voice,
Where is my husband. ?"
The Rev. H. E. Tilston, giving evidence, said the letters and postcards he had received contained aspersions on his character. He had done everything to avoid con- versation with the defendant, and had never done anything to cause ber annoyance.
evening At the service when defendant put out her foot witness had to step aside to avoid it. He had special services on Wednesday, which were practi- cally spoiled by defendant'a con- duct.
