Agriculture And Transport. A tour of Northern Island has completely confirmed this view of returning prosperity among the farming element, upon which the country so largely depends. Modest farmsteads, small holdings, and Inbourers' cottages, over the six counties look remarkably trim and pent, showing not only that they are the object of much care and energy, but also that agriculture is producing the wherewithal to make them $0.
To the important degres that efficient transport helps in stimulat ing trade and commerce, Northern Ireland-and Great Britain, too, for that matter-will warmly wel come the departure of the L.M.8.

Mr. Clarke said that Eustace was the illegitimate, son of a wo- man in a Cornish village. He was first a houseboy and then a waiter.
He then went to Sidmouth as a waiter and met with a motor-cycle accident. When in hospital he met three benevolent alderly women, the Misses Cornish. On one of these he imposed to the tune of £10,000.
Miss Cornish was afterwards plaintiff in an action which result: ed in judgment being obtained against Eustace. Failure to pay rendered him liable to be sent to prison for contempt of court.

Bir Henry Dickens: That should be a warning to wealthy women never to live alone in London hotels, especially if they are bene- volent.
Detective-Bergeant Thomas men- tioned another woman, 2 Mrs. Heath, whom Eustace had met in an hotel at Teignmouth in Febru- ary 1927. He told her a wonderful story about his wealth and got about £1,500 from her.

A Practical Swindler.
Sir Henry Dickens, passing sen- tence, said Eustace's record for a youth of 22 was almost unbelier- able.
No wonder, therefore, that at the lunchen given bare in connection with the inaugural trip of the Duke of Lancaster the new departure was
