COCK FIGHTING IN ENGLAND.

THE RECENT CASE.

PEN PICTURE OF SIR JOHN JARDINE.

FURTHER ECHOES OF THE SAVIDGE CASE.

[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

LONDON, July 21st. There is a reminder of the long ago in the prosecution of nineteen sportainen, many of them well known, for rock fighting. One of the defendants was

Sir John Duchanan Jardine, the racehorse owner, whose name is familiar on

your side of the world. His ad-

dress

was given as Newmarket. There was no dispute about the cock fighting, which took place on

stud farm in Norfolk; and the only paint for the Justices in the Petty Sessional Court at East Harl ing was whether the defendants acted illegally,

"

For some time guarded reports had appeared in the newspapers about cock fighting in the Eastern Counties. Everyone knows that it is carried on intermittently in the North, especially in Cumberland, but it came as a surprise that the old sport forbidden by Act of Par liament was being indulged in so near London. The police were at a loss, to discover, where there was a cock pit. One day last month they managed to close in on a farm at Old Buckenham and saw the de fondante standing round a horse. box which served as an arens for two game cocks that were doing battle.

The Defence.

The defence was that it is not illegal for anyone to "look on at cock fighting. "You don't assist at a theatre by buying a ticket," enid Sir Patrick Hastings, K.C., who appeared for the defendants. He added that his clients, who were gentlemen of position, felt it keenly that it had been suggested that they were doing something they knew to be illegal.

But the Bench decided that the law of the land had been broken, and fined the nineteen £10 each. The proceedings were taken at the instance of the police under the Protection of Animals Act, 1911, which prohibits any person ing, procuring or assisting at the ughting or baiting of any animal." By merely looking on, therefore, at in cock fighting you are breaking

the law.

LONDON, July 21st Barbara Hewitt, aged 12, the younger of two schoolgirls who ran away from the County School for Girls at Harrow, Middlesex, was found in a distressed and unkeppt condition at Funtington, about five miles from Chichester.

To the police, who saw her cycling along in a tired way, she said that her companion, Peggy Hanmore, aged 13, had gone on alone in the direction of Portsmouth, and was probably cycling in a bor's suit.

Barbara's aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Greenaway, of Nibthwaite. rond. Harrow, left by car during the morning to bring her back.

The girl describing her adven- tures, said she and her companion walked to Ealing and slept for two left school because of trouble there, nights in a house there. On Satur day they walked to a little station" called St. Margarets, and took a train to Brighton..

Slept On Beach.

Peggy had money with her, but not enough for them to pay for proper accommodation. After they had spent the afternoon strolling along the shore, they slept that night on the beath at Hove.

Day after day they walked on along the const, sleeping on the beaches at places she could not re- member. After several days Little hampton was reached, and here, having walked 16 miles, they pro cured bicycles,

The reports of the three Commis sioners who inquired into the examination of Miss Savidge at Scotland Yard are inconclusive for the reason that agreement was not reached in the findings except on the point that Miss Savidge ought not to have been taken away from her place of business and cross- examined in the circumstances that are now so notorious.
