LINCOLN LIBEL ACTION IN COURT
Lincoln, Nov. 19. Dr. John Desmond O'- Neill, of Skegness, at Lin- coln denied that he had had intimate love affairs with a young woman ac- cused of publishing a de- famatory libel against him.
Muriel Tonge Wilkin, aged
twenty-six, of Skegness, pleaded justification to the libel charge, and guilty to charges of assault- ing the doctor and damaging his
car.
Dressed in a costume of bold
check and a yellow polo jumper.
she rarely raised her head as Dr. O'Neil, honorary medical officer
of Shekness District Hospital
said she had-
Emptied a jug of water over his head;
.
Thrown empty beer bottles at him;
Smashed windscreen and win- dows of his car;
Hurled large stones at him.
Dr. O'Neill said these incidents took place on August 19 after he had refused to give Miss Wilkin's mother any more morphin. Miss Wilkin had been "slightly intoxicated."
On August 23 he received a letter from Miss Wilkin
"Darling, you must keep your pro mise and marry me. I did not want von in trouble with the B.MA.

Later he received two postcards. One

were signed "Muriel.”
On August 28 an advertisement appeared in a local paper announe ing his engagement in Miss Wilkin. He immediately issues
disclaimer.
DENIES KISSES Cross-examined by Mr. Walke Carter, for the defence, Dr. O'Neill dented meeting Miss Wilkin, taking her in his car, going for walks with her or kissing her.
He also denied saying that if he married he would lose some money,- or asking her to keep it secret and to wait for him.
Did she go up to your sitting-room did you come up and find her kneel- ing on the rug in front of the fire, und did intimacy then take place? -No.

Dr. Donald Thomson, brilliant young British anthro- pologist and explorer, has solved a puzzle that for 13 years has intrigued the world-he has found a mystery English- nomad killer-aborigine tribe in the Australian bush, writes Sean Fielding..

Their Jobs
We do not appreciate food as we used to do. We are losing our love of a good meal, The noble art of cating is pobig to the acts..
XPERIENCED restau- Drant-keepers, waiters, chefs and maitres d'hotel have known about it for some time. Now Mr. W. S. Morrison, Minister of Agriculture, adds his voice to the mournful plaint.
Speaking at the Hotels and Restaurants' Associa- tion Conference at Chelten- ham recently he said:
"I think it is because there are more pleasures to-day com- peting with the pleasure of good food. It is probable that the cinema, as much as anything else, has made the portly and dignified Mrs. Beeton shrink to the meagre form of the cau- opener."
SOME REASONS The cognoscenti in London's temples of food, consulted had a Wilkin's house on July 17, he denied good deal to say on the subject.
Questioned about a visit to Mrs.
that he went to small-bedroom- with Miss Wilkin and that he took of his shoes so
mother that her would not hear him.
During the excitement on August 19, the doctor added, Mrs. Wilkin necused him of giving her morphis in order to take advantage of her daughter.
In his opinion Miss Wilkin's mind was unstable, and her story was an "uiter issue of lies from start to Anish."

Captain H. Elliott-Smith, who well-known in Singapore, has retired from the P. and O. after 38 years in the company's service.
His place as Commander of the Chitral has been taken by Captains W. E. L. S. Pocock who thus takes up his first permanent appointment to a passenger ship,
Captain Pocock went to sea in September, 1895, serving his ap- prenticeship in The Star of Italy, a sailing ship. Incidentally, he is one of the few liner commanders who hold an extra master ticket for square-rigged ships,
He joined the P. and O, ns 4th Officer of the Aroute and served in a number of shipa.
During the war he remained in the P. and O. service and was in the Maloja on 2nd Oflcer when, in 1016 she was mined in the Channel with the loss of 122 lives.
During the post-war years, Captain Pocoelt had a varied experience with all types of ships and when the new vessel Viceroy of India was ready he was appointed as her Chief Officer. His first command was the Mirza- pore, a cargo vessel employed in the P. and O. Bombay-For East service. On returning to England he made voyages temporarily in command of the Ranchi and Carthage.
