Questioned by his Worship, the defendant said the door was not locked and he thought that pro- bably the lock was out of order.
His Worship said he had to take
a serious view of thefts by servants. They were in positions of trust and if they abused the trust placed in them, they should be heavily pen- alised for it.
The defendant was sentenced to four month's hard labour.
MISREPRESENTATION.
INCOME TAX YIELD.
Mr. Snowden, answering Mr. Mander (L. Wolverhampton, E.) in the House of Commons, on the memorandum and table of the Federation of British Industries on the subject of income tax yield, said: This table puts the produce of the income tax for the year 1928 at £220,000,000 with a yield per penny of £4,583,000. The true figures for that year are £238,000,- 000 and £4,800,000 respectively.
Apart from this inaccuracy, however, a comparison of the yield of income tax over a series of years cannot properly, be made without taking into account the taxation changes which have taken place. There were greater Income tax allowances in the later years of this table than in the earlier years, and if adjustments are made on this account, the yield per penny for 1928 is not, as the table states, the lowest of recent years but the highest.
The pessimistic inferences con- tained in the memorandum are therefore unwarranted, and I can- not think that the interests of trade and industry are being serv- ed by the dissemination of in- accurate Information in this way. (Loud Socialist cheers.).

In ordering the defendant to receive twelve strokes of the cane his Worship said that he was sorry that that was the most he could give.
PRISON MURDER.
MACHINE GUNS ON

A convict on Mar. 6 stabbed to
death Mr. Beckwith, the principal keeper of Auburn State Prison, as the result of a personal grudge.

As Mr. Beckwith was superin- tending the prisoners' match their tables in the mess-hall, the criminal stepped out of line and plunged a long knife into
the chief warder's neck. Mr. Beck- with died within a few minutes.
Panic fell on the other prisoners. They attempted to ruah back to their cells; bat other warders covered them with revolvers and sawed-off shotguns; and brought them to a standstill.

While the murderer was being overpowered and placed in a cell, sirens shrieked from the prison top, and machine-guns on the walls were manned to prevent other prisoners from talking advantage of the excitement and making a break-away,
Beckwith is the third Auburn to have been principal keeper murdered within two years. In an Auburn prison battle, last December, four convicts were kill- ed and soven wounded.
