APPEAL DISMISSED.
JUDGE AND HUSBAND'S JEALOUSY.
The case in which a Major al- Teged that a brother officer had enticed his wife came before the Court of Appenl.
The action was brought by Major Ritchie Langstaffe Capel-Smith, formerly of the Royal Army Ser vice Corps, against Major Bernard A. S.-Dyer, of the same corps, for damages for alleged unlawfully en- ticing and procuring his wife. Mrs. Mildred Capel-Smith, leave his home. Major Dyer deni ed the allegations.
to
After four days' hearing before Mr. Justice Swift and a special jury, the jury stopped the case and returned a verdict for Major Dyer, for whom judgment was en- tered. Major Capel-Smith now ap- pealed.
Mr. Valetta appeared for Major Capel-Smith, and Mr. Malcolm Hilbery, K.C., for Major. Dyer.
Mr. Valetta said that the action was brought by an officer against his senior officer, his allegation being that for nine months before
departure for India in Sep- tember, 1026, Major Dyer had suc ceeded by his conduct in inducing Mrs. Capel-Smith to leave him.
At the trial Major Capel-Smith said that he was perfectly happy with his wife until Major Dyer carne between them. Major Dyer,

BANKRUPTCY COURT
STATEMENT:
Mr. John Cornelius Bell, plastic surgeon, of Wigmore Street, Lon- den, appeared before Mr. Registrar Warmington at the London Bank ruptcy Court for his public ex- amination. Mr. Belf was the defea-1 dant in a breach of promise suit brought in the King's Bench Divi-

as well as being his senior officer,sion by Miss Christian Clara Ver- was his friend, and with bis per- non, formerly his secretary who mission he took Mrs. Capel-Smith was awarded £1,000 damages, to dances. Major Capei-Smith, who did not dance, had suspicion of anything wrong until he found his wife and Major Dyer together in a car in the garage with the lights out. He tackled Major Dyer about this, and Major Dyer said. I am sorry. Why haven't you mentioned this before 1 It may be that I have been seeing too much of your wife and perhaps unsettling her."

moothly between them until Major Capel-Smith had to go_to India on military service. His evidence was that his wife promís ed faithfully that she would not Bee Major Dyer after he (Major Capel-Smith) had left the country. Major Capel-Smith was in- fatuated with his wife, and while he was in India he wrote letters to her which would nauseats the Court. They were, however, only letters of intense affection. He re- ceived replies from his wife couch ed in affectionate terms, and her explanation of these when she went into the witness-box was that they were intended to deceive her bus- band into the belief that she loved him In fact, she said that she' had disliked him for years." It was during her evidence that the jury stopped the case, and Mr. Valetta aid that be hoped to satisfy the Court that the trial was not satis- factory's
His contention was that the Judge misdirected the jury in that he failed to direct them that the real and only issue was whether or not Major Dyer wrongfully enticed and procured Mrs. Capel-Smith to leave her husband. The Judge in- vited the jury to consider whether Mrs. Capel-Smith needed enticing, and thereby caused the jury to con- sider matters wholly irrelevant to the ren! issue. The Judge, said Mr. Valeita, apparently became impressed by her evidence when she said that she was tired of her hus-- band and intended to leave him and that she needed no enticement.
In reply to Mr. Ferrars. Vyvyan, the Assistant Receiver, Mr.. Bell stated that he is a German national and his 101-1814, when he changed it. by deed poll. In 1901 he became was Johan Cornelius Gloeckler.

He first began to practice on his own account in 1905 in Rosebery Gardens, Crouch End, and he agreed to sell this practice in 1907 for £600, of which he only received 30. From October, 1919, until June, 1921, he was working up a eonnection, and in the latter year he agreed to take over the manage- ment of plastic surgeon's bus- ness on a half-profit basis.
-Lossos In Litigation.
Having been dismissed for alleged breach of agreement in November, 1976, he brought an action for wrongful dismissal against his late employer, who counter-claimed for breach of agreement, and in June, 1927, the action was settled out of court on terms that be ebould pay. bis.late employer 22,000.

His credit with his ad- vertising firms was stopped, and he then formed John C. Bell, Limited. with a nominal capital of £1,000 to take over the practice, in which he had since acted as an employee at a salary of £3 per week. He attri- buted his failure to the stoppage of credit consequent on the action.

had committed The public examination was con- adultery or not was not the ques--cluded, tion. The question was did she leave her husband because Major Dyer incited and persuaded her to do so, or did she leave of her own accord!
The husband was a very ex- citable, jealous, and nervous man, and his physical weakness was not made any better by his war service. The jury bad evidence of his fran- tic jealousy and his passionate de votion to his wife. He was ob viously very difficult man to live with. The jury had an ample opportunity of seeing the sort of man he was. They heard some of his outbursts, which, even in the shorthand notes, looked very re- markable, and it was quite open
to them to come to the conclusion that, like Mr. Carlyle, he was "Rey ill to live with.
The wife went into the box, and in evidence said: "If I had never Beca Major Dyer I would rather be dead than go back to my hus band."
The Court was asked to say that the trial was unsatisfactory. They bad elected to believe the evidence of the wife in preference to that of the husband and they were justified in doing so. The Court could not interfere, and the ap- peal would be dismissed with costs. The other Lords Justices concur
