Side by side with dark, handsomei Budd, an engineer, of lacton-drive, Hornchurch, Essex, she sat in the small dock while Mr. Cecil Albert Riley, motor driver, of Desborough- ardens, Victoria, related the events of the luncheon parly # month ago at which the woman's husband took a fatal "swig" from a whisky bottle alleged to have contained poison.

During her sermon, which was re- layed to an averflow congregation, she said:
