Judge And "Kid" Lewis.

Mr. Joe Bloch, of the Old King's Head, Vallance-road, Whitechapel E, sued Mr. Theodore Lewis, of the Stag's Head, Hawley-road, Camden Town, N.W., to recover $250 on

bill of exchange dated October 13, 1922, drawn by Charles Cohel upon Lewis and accepted by him and endorsed by Cohen to Bloch. There was no defence, Mr. R. P. Croom-Jolinson, for Mr. Bloch, said Lewis was also known as "Kid" Lewis. Mr. Justice Horridge: The name seems fami- Hiar. Mr. Johrson: Yes, it is very well known in certain circles. Judg ment was entered for Mr. Bloch for £250 with costs. Fumes And The Wild Beast.

The action brought by Mrs. Beatrice Durrant, of "Staplake,”.

Russell-hill, Purley, Surrey con- plaining that fumes from the chimney of an adjoining bungalow owned by Mrs. Lydia Annie Thompson were an intolerable nuisante, was dismissed with costs. It was stated that the bungalow was designed by Mrs. Thompson's husband, a naval architect, who had disregarded the rules governing land architecture and built the chimney 10ft. below the crown of the roof of Mrs. Durrant's house. Mr. Cunliffe, K. C, for Mrs. Thompson, said the action was far remote from the class of case where it had been held that if a person brought a wild beast on his premises he must "keep it at bay, chained up, and controlled."

A man of go living on the Upper Hawkesbury River (N.S.W.), has dug and bricked in his own grave. The job has taken him about two years. He takes visitors over to look at it, and explains that he could not bear to think of being burled in a grave that might fall in on him.
