Marshal Chang Hauch Liang has put forward three conditions which must be fulfilled in order to take the Three Eastern Pro- vinces under Nationalist control. In these conditions he shows quite clearly that Manchuria has no intention of coming completely under Nationalist government from Nanking, without having any"

Mr. Justice Charles said that it was a very strange ease. The late Lord Deerhurst was constantly living beyond his income. Under 1 former Countess of Wilton's will he was entitled to a large contingent reversion, the contingency being that be should outlive his uncle, Mr. Arthur Pryor (the counters' husband). Mr. Pryor died on June 18th, 1927, and Lord Deerhurst died on the following August 8th."

The claim arose because on Jane | 14th, when bankruptcy proceedings were pending against the late Lord Deerhurst, Mr. Schayerien gave the creditors an undertaking to pay all debts to the amount of £12,000. Mr. Schaverien said his arrangement with the late Lord Deerhurst was that the latter should in return give Mr. Schaverien a charge on his cop. tingent reversion for £24,000.

"It does not appear to me that there was any concluded bargain," continued Mr. Justice Charles. "The bargain was much too vague, and upon that head Mr. Schaverien fails. I should wish to add that I see nothing in the bargain that had been made which is in any way to the discredit of Mr. Schaverien. I seem to think it has been suggested that he was taking some advantage of this very sick man. I don't be- lieve he was doing anything of the

She went out alone, and did not reture until 2.30 p.m. She asked for her clothes, and said she was going to get lodgings. She went out, and he followed her. In the street she pulled of her wedding ring and put it in his pocket, saying: "I have finished with you, Peree.”
