TWO DOCTORS ON TRIAL FOR MURDER.
CONFLICT. OF EXPERT EVIDENCE.
POLICE INSPECTOR'S QUEER EVIDENCE.
The trial was hold before Mr. Justice Branson, at Manchester recently, of Dr. Arthur Stuart Holden, 41, of Preston, and Dr. Frederick Langton Webster, 30, of Bamber Bridge, near Preston, who were charged with the manslaughter of Nora Elizabeth Marinion, 24, daughter of a quarry owner, of Penmaenmawr, North Wales.
The case for the prosecution was that Miss Marmion died from shock during an illegal operation performed by one or both of the doctors at Dr. Webster'a house on October 7th..
The court yas crowded, the upper gal lery being occupied exclusively by women. There were two women on the jury and. a number of well-dressed women were in the body of the court, and at times dur- ing the day two women were in seats on the Bench fanking the judge's chair.
Mr. T. Eastham, C., for the pro- secution, said that after Miss Marmion's death both doctors went to the police station at two d'clock in the morning.
Dr. Webster said to the inspector: This is Dr. Holden. He has had an operation on a woman at my house tonight She has died under the anesthetic

Police Inspector's' “Mistake." The inspector, cross-examined, asked by Mr. J. E. Singleton, K.C. (lor Dr. Helden): Did Dr. Holden say she had come round from the anaesthetic, but went into a fit and died No..

Did he say,

shock to me, for she was more a personal friend than a patient!"-No.
Lord Walsingham (formerly, as Mr. J. A. de Grey, a London metropolitan magis trate, and a Recorder) declared that in his opinion women are apt to be biased and prejudiced against men charged with a, particular type of offence.
Sir Robert Wallace, chairman of the County of London Sessions, however, held
different opinion. He said:
I have found women excellent as jurors, and have to complaints against them. We do not get capital offences at the crime I have found that women on a jury Sessions, but in ordinary matters of
