LED JURY MADE
LEGAL HISTORY
Mrs. Mabel Frances Clark, keeper of a small newsagent's and tobacconist's shop in Albany Street, Regent's Park, London has created legal history.
Summoned to serve on a jury at a case to be heard before the London Sessions, she was elected forewoman of the jury. No woman has never led a London Sessions jury before,
After the case was heard the chairman, Mr. W. Cockburn, complimented Mrs. Clark on the .able way she had handled legal
intricacies.
...-“I was surprised when we re- tired to choose our foreman and One of the jurymen' said we wouldn't have a foreman, ́we'd have a forewoman," Mrs. Clark told a reporter.
"The case was one of receiving and took four hours. The eviden- ce took a bit of following, but on the whole it was a mat- ter of common sense, I wasn't a bit nervous.”
BOMBS NEAR CHURCH
DIDN'T STOP WEDDING QUEENS THEATRE
GUNFIRE DROWNED the responses of a cou- ple being married in a centuries-old church at Ips- wich. Then came the piercing whistles of three high explosive bombs, dropped by a single raider.
One, of heavy calibre, burst a few feet from the church porch. The building shook, windows were blown in and rubble strewn about the aisles.
F:
The vicar Jeaned towards The bridal cars were to have the bridegroom, asking in a taken two more local brides to whisper: "What would you their weddings. like to do?"
The bridegroom. looked at his bride, saw her smile, and replied: "Carry `on." The wedding was that of Miss Gladys Garrard and Mr. Frank Harvey.
Outside two be-ribboned bri- dal cars were hurled against the wall of the church and buried in a pile of debris A driver, sitting in one of them, was bruised, cut
and badly shocked
While A.R.P. workers worked to free the cars, which .were towed away an hour later, the
new Mrs. Harvey and her hus- band, unperturbed, posed at the church porch for photographs before inspecting the huge bomb
crater.
Walk To Reception
Then arm in arm, the couple, followed by the guests, set out for the wedding reception, a couple of miles away on foot.

Runners carried the news that they were- immobilised and the two best men found taxicabs to get both couples at their churches on time.
The scream of a bomb mo- mentarily drowned the strains of the wedding march as an- other couple were walking down the alale. Anti-aircraft shells barat and more bombs fall. The church shook and people caught in the street dived for the shelter of the church porch.
The bride kept smiling as she posed for wedding pictures-then burst into tears and collapsed.

These vast and tortuous tran- sactions may take months to umtravel. The strictest inquiry is to be made into the affairs of one bank which was forced to make transfers abroad despite the fact that such transfers are forbidden Rumanian citizens.
