He was convicted of piracy on 18th July, 1900. The second prisener was serving a term of 14 years for the Wing Lock Street Robbery in which a policeman was killed, from 18th January.

He puts the worst construction on her presence with Falkner and leaves abruptly saying that he will inform her hus- band. Lady jessica realizing at last what she has done, determines to make up al story to the effect that she is dining with a party. The arrival on the scene of Lady Rosamund Tate ton, ber sister, decides her. She asks Lady Rosie to dine with her. Lady Rosie, however, replies that she cannot as she is with friends and is dining with them. However she con sents to write to George Nepean saying that she dined with her sister. She then departs and Lady Jessica at once returns to town. The next arrival is Sir Christopher Deering, who comes in and finds Falkner alone and proposes to join him at dinner, Falkner consents but excusing himself dashes up to towa. Next morning according to their agreement at the Star and Garter Lady Jessica and Lady Rosa- mundaneet at the latter's house in town, having arranged to explain all to George Nepean, They find it necessary to take Freddie Tatton, who is rather a nonentity, into their confidence. Shortly afterwards Sir Christopher Deering arrives and he is begged to help them. Ife gives them the choice of "two possibilitie's "namely telling a lie or sticking to the truth. They decide on the former course and make up a failure, as a friend of theirs, a Mrs. Crespin with story, which unfortunately turns out to be a

Dolly Coke a cousin of Lady Jessica then arrives and as she is more or less conversant with the matter in hand is also enlisted to help. Her husband however, a fussy and ultra conscientious old man, refuses to countenance the proceedings at all, and matters are proceeding very badly when George Nepean arrives by appointment. He is told the story but is obviously sceptical and says that he will not influence his brother in any way. Gilbert Nepean then arrives in response to a telegram from his brother and demands an explanation. It is not satisfactory as the conspirators are all very nervous and conscious that their story is, as Freddie Tatton remarks, "this" It is at this important juncture that the cause of the rouble, Edward Falkner artives.

AN Indian contemporary says --Mr. Maples announces, that the dream of Calcutta of elec- tric cars will be fulfilled in another three months. The engines are on their way out, and by the beginning of June will probably be busy on the Kidderpore and Kalighat Sections, This is sooner than most people thought, and the despatch shows what Mr. Maples could do if he were only allowed a free hand.
