· STRONG COMMENT',

Birtley (Durham)-Strong com- monts about spiritualists were made by the deputy-coroner, Mr. E. Bolton, at the resumed inquest at Birtley on Thomas Willam Kennair, aged 18; of Birtley, whose body was found on the railway on October 17,

At a previous hearing it was stated the lad had been attending spiritualist meetings at which a medium had prophesied that a youth of 17 was going to meet with a terrible accident.

Was it arranged that you should go to Monte Carlo and work this scheme with your colleagues? Yes.

Liking For the “Tables"" Mr. Joy stated that Lord Roselyn was as anxious as anybody that all the facta should be before the Court. With regard to the first Mr. Melville (quoting from the defence, decisions in the House of book): "From lack of restraint Lords had laid down that the went to Monte Carlo before my substantial part of the transaction confreres and tried to sit out the must take place at the registered day alone, and lost £2,000 of our offices of the money-lender.

Summing up, the coroner said he could only assume that the lad's intellect had not been strong enough to withstand the influence of these meetings. He added:

How anybody in right senses can try to forecast what is going to happen, under a closk of religion I don't know. A verdict of Suicide while of Unsound Mind was returned.
