Horace Budd, 29-year-old engineer, of Hornchurclt (Essex), is charged with the murder of Francis Cyril Newlands (40), steward of a block of flats and offices at the Chambers.
The prosecution alleges that Newlands was poisoned by spirits of salts diluted with whisky.
On the day Newlands became ill Budd was said to have taken to the flat some spirits of salts in a black whisky bottle for use in soldering two ten urns.
According to the prosecution the bottle disappeared and hnd not boon found.

Dr. Owen John Patrick Bollon, who was called to see Newlands early on August 21, said that Dudd produced a bottle almost inmediately, telling him that Newlands had been taken suddenly 1 and had had a "swig" from the bottle.

The judge agreed. Cross-examined by Mr. Hutchin- son, Dr. Bollon agreed that Budd Rave him every assistance, adding: "But I cannot understand why he did not send for doctor, or com- municate with the police, if the man was in pain in the afternoon."
Mr. Newlands touched him on the arm and said: "Come on, get out," With that, Budd walked out slowly

A verdict of suicide while of unsound mind was returned at the inquest on Mr. Justice Knight-Bruce, Acting Chief Justice of Tanganyika Territory, who was found shot through the head in his bed room on Novem ber 7.
Sir Joseph Sheridan, Chief Justice of Kenya and President of the East African Court of Appeal, who was one of the chief witnesses, requested that part of his evidence should be heard in camera. Ste Joseph was staying with Mr. Justice Knight- Bruce at the time of the latter's death.
The Coroner, in his finding, stated that the closing of the court was not | necessary to view of the nature of the
evidence disclosed.
It appeared that Mr. Knight-Bruce had been a very sick man for a con- siderable time, both in body and mind. Domestic differences had arisen in which another unnamed person was concerned.
Str Joseph Sheridan, in his evidence, said that Mr. Knight-Bruce was devoted to his wife, and was filled with remorse when she left for England for a holiday shortly before the tragedy,
Sir Joseph referred to an incident at a public dance, when Mr. Knight- Bruce struck an Individual in the presence of his wife, Sir Joseph Sheridan, and others. Later the men were brought together on friendly
terms.
Sir Joseph Sheridan admitted that two nights before the tragedy he locked himself in his room, owing to the demeanour of Mr. Knight-Brüce. AUSTRALIA
