MR. ALLERY AGREES
TO LEAVE.
UNDERTAKING GIVEN IN
COURT.
Mr. William Adrian Allery, like a, General In command of his troops on the South-Eastern front from Brixton to Wandsworth), spent an anxious morning at head- quarters 180, Brixton-road wait- ing for nowa from the front linò trench.
Before the Chancery Division of the High Court, his adjutant, Mr. John Duncan, was putting up a great fight for victory and £60,000,000—many countries have waged bitter wars for leas.
Mr. Allery was composed but a triile nervous. He would light a! cigarette and pass his finger over the map on his table.. Now and then he would have a brief con- fetence with Mr. Bowes, his Chief of Staff, or another high officer.
A "soldier" guarded the door. The house next to his G.11.Q. was in ruins. Mr. Allery's own front | garden was a sad wreck. Plecas of wood, old doors, and jam jara disfigured the lawn. Even the roof of his headquarters looked as if might decide to collapse any
moment..
A few schoolchildren crowded round the entrance and whispered in an excited manner between furtive glances at the great man whose hend was just visible Through the window.
The Guard's Challenge.
"Who goes there?".
A smart challenge from the guard brought me to an abrupt halt. The door was locked and barred.
"Wait a moment and will see," said the guard when the business was explained. A moment later 1. was taken in by an officer to the General.
"I am waiting for despatches," said the General. "This will be a fateful day."

CONDEMNED PARDONED.
ANCIENT SPANISH
CEREMONY,
Madrid, Apr. 6. ·· With ancient ceremony King Alfonso to-day granted a pardon to three men who had been con. demned to death... ·

The King and Queen'and Court clothed in the severest garments attended a public service in morning at the palace. The kucal Ing monarch prayed audibly nt the moment of the consecration, after which the Patriarch of the Indies carried to him a tray bearing the petitions of the condemned tied with black bands.
The patriarch said: "Sire, the justice of earth has condemned them to the extreme penalty. Do you pardon them?"..
The King: 1 pardon them that God may pardon me.
Immediately the black bands were changed for white as sign of pardon. ·
March 31, and he was prepared
to add that this would be without prejudice to any claim to be en- titled to the Angell or any other estate
Mr. Justice Eve also made a term of the undertaking that £140 paid into the bank should not be withdrawn pending the further of the motion.
Later in the day Mr. Duncan applied to the Court of Appeal for an extension of time in which to give-up possession, but the-Master- of the Rolls announced that he was an Ecclesiastical Commission- er and could not bear the applica- tion.
Mr. Duncan accordingly went to another Court, where he re- newed his application. Ho said that having got his client out, the Ecclesiastical Commissioners would not proceed further with the ac aure it was. Minutes on. He wanted to put the Com- dragged on. Mr. Allery was getmissioners to proof of their title. ting hungry, but he, bravely de- cided to carry on until he could confer with Mr. Duncan.
When high issues are at stake, It is particularly disagreeable to be kept in suspense.
At last the communique was ready,
"We shall evacuate," the Gen- eral proclaimed dramatically. "I shall withdraw my G.H.Q. 100 yards to the South in Normandy- road.
"But, for added safely, I will also have another building in readiness whither. I may retire with my staff in emergency. This will be in Wandsworth-road. have discovered an uninhabited house next to a pawnbroker, which my agents are now reconnaitring." This sounded really warlike.. "When will your troops advance to take this new point?"
*Not to-day," said the General wearily. "I don't feel like it. To- morrow, I expect; but I shall not evacuate Brixton-road until my men have taken possession."
Efforts to Obtain Extension, When the motion for an injunc tion by the Ecclesiastical Com- missioners came before Mt, Justice Eve in the Chancery División, Mr. Archer, K.C., for the Commission- ers, said that Mr. Allery con- ceived that he had some claim to a small part of the Commissioners estate, conslating of the whole of Brixton among other places, and he was asserting his claim not in court, but by taking possession of vacant buildinga.
Te had taken possession of 180, Brixton-road, a building which the Commissioners were converting ints offices at a coat of about £16,000,
It was desirable to do something effective that day, and he asked for an drder to restrain Mr. Allery and Mr. Bowes remaining in pos- session.
Mr. Archer read an affidavit by Mr. Harold Thrift-Merrett, one of the managers, to Messrs. Clutton, agents for the Commissioners, in which he stated that Nos. 180 and 182, Brixton-road never formed any part of the Angell Estate,
Mr. John Duncan, for Mr. Allery and Mr. Bowes, said that he would give an undertaking that they would not interfere with the ten- ants paying their rents, and would
also undertake' not to trespass on any further property, but that undertaking would not apply to 180, Brixion-road, which Mr. Allery claimed to hold.
Mr. Justice Eve said that 180, Brixton-road formed no part of the Angell Estates, and possession of a house on another estate was not a legal assertion of an alleged title to the Angell Estate.
Mr. Duncan subsequently elated that ho was instructed to under- take to give up possession.
Next Term.
Mr. Justice Eve said that the motion would stand over until the second motion day next term, on the respondents undertaking to vacate the premises on or before
Lord Justice Scrutton said that the order of Mr. Justice Eve was the only proper order.
The other members of the Court concurred, and the application was dismissed.
