Mr. Salkeld Green, for the pro- secution, said that he was going to show that there had been on the part of Sir Walter Cockerline a
course of fraud extending back to 1907. Every single return for tax purposes during those 30 years had been wrogg.

On that oc- casion, in 1917, Sir Walter paid up
the tax for 18 years, back to 1897. This is not a case of a man driven by pressure of want or busi ness difficulties to commit these frauds, but of a man steadily in- creasing in wealth On December 31st, 1914, he was worth, according to his own books, 2664,697. Ou De cember 31st, 1992, he was worth 2919.033.
"His wealth has since grown, I ani told, to rather over £1,000,000; shove his living expenses of nearly £250,000, more than two and a half times the amount of taxes we lost during these years.", "a"

He had risen to be Sherif of

Dr. Jackson, suggested that fr. Rainey, the cross-examining, cashier and bookkeeper, who was "an old gentlemen," and retired in 1915, was very jealous of his books, and that that was the reason he would not allow Mr. Scanlon to see them.

The house is a charming Tudor building with heavy oak timbers set in bright green meadows. The fragrance of rosez pervades the garden, and every room, with its quaint, low ceilings and massive beams, is rich with memories of the stage of a past generation.
