The trial was opened at the Essex Assizes at Chelmsford early in November of Harriet Amelia Crouch, 50, who was charged with the murder of her husband by shooting him at Summerhouse Farm, Jay Wick, near Clacton, on August 20th

Mr. J. D. Cassels, K.C., M.P., prose cuting, said that Mrs Crouch married in November, 1920. She was the widow of a Spaniard and owned a fancy goods business. Her husband was a traveller. In September, 1923, Mr. and Mrs. Crouch took the Summerhouse farm and employed a stockman's daughter, named Dorothy Margaret Smith, as a servant in the house. There was no doubt Mrs. Crouch entertained a feeling of jealously with regard to Miss Smith, and believed there was a guilty relationship between her husband and Miss Smith."

Mr. Davidson obtained his first ex perience of affairs as Parliamentary Private Secretary to Mr. Boaur Law when he was Prime Minister. He is still quite a young man, being only 37, and he will need all his youth and energy in the combination of tasks which he has undertaken. He is highly popular with all parties.

The Tower Bridge Court is in the centre of one of the worst areas in London, and it was marvellous to see Mr. Waddy disposing of the scores of cases that came before him daily from the slums. He always kept in view the ideal that the Police Court Magistrate is fre quently, the poor man's lawyer as well as his judge. Many stories are told to illustrate his kindness of heart, and his almost uncanny knack of getting at the facts of a ease with a few well-directed questions.
