Lord Darling proposed the health of Mr. Churchill.
Mr. Churchill, in reply, spoke of the danger of being involved too closely in the Socialist policy in India. He said he did not make any accusation against the Socialist Party of bad faith in their relations with the. Conser vative Party, but he did say that it was much better that the two parties should not have any rela- tions at all. (Cheers). It was the duty of the Conservative Party to put some resisting force into the discussion of the Indian Problem. The Conservatives
would do much better if they kept to themselves and develop ed their own point of view. That did not mean that they should cut themselves from any happy solution or peaceful agree ment which might be achieved by consultation with all the parties and elements involved in the Indian question. But, in his belief, the Conservatives would play their part much better if they were independent in their judgment and not drawn, en- ticed, step by step, into positions which it was impossible for this country, to make good. (Cheers).

BARRISTER DEFIES A JUDGE.
Refusal to Keep Quiet During Summing Up.
PAPERS IMPOUNDED.
A London barrister, Mr. Charles Lawrence Hales, of Temple Gärdens, The Temple, defied Judge Higgins at Brentford County Court in a case in which he was co-defendant with his brother, Ernest William Hales.
The case was a summons for pos-¦ session of a house at Acton and for £172, rent arrears.
Hales put Mr. Charles
up the defence that he was tenant of the house, but acted as agent for his brother.
It is believed that they were forced down in bad weather somewhere in outer Mongolia on the 2nd inst. while en route to Manchouli from Peking. Search 'planes located the missing ma- chine, which was surrounded by Mongolian troops who fired on the searching 'planes.
The captured 'plane was carry-Higgins said: ing mails-Reuter.

Mr. Hales interjected remarks while the judge was eumining up, and in spite of the judge's orders he refused to keep quiet.
Ejectment Threats..
Finally the Judge said: "Will you etand down, or shall I have to put you put of court?"
Hales then sat in the body of the court.
"When the defendant swore in the box that he was agent for his brother he was not telling the truth," continued the Judge.
He gave judgment against Enlos for the amount claimed, with costs, and ordered the documenta to be Impounded.
Mr. Hales then
came forward again and protested against the Judge's observations. He said:
"If you make observations against my honour I shall continue to make observations in defence of it."
Let them consider one or two mistakes into which they had been drawn, not by their own error but by the fact that they had been going along the same way in much too generous con- fidence. First there was the de- claration in favour of Dominion status in India. Every one who had studied the problem knew that that was quite impossible in any times, that they would see. Then, having been drawn into the conclusions of the Round- Table Conference, which were far in advance of anything con- templated by the Simon Commis- sian, they were drawn into a position far in advance of those conclusions. Then there was the Gandhi-Irwin movement, which he had по hesitation in characterising as a great disaster
