A Prague Charity Hospital patient was brought in 19 years ago suffering from influenza, Inflammation of the hips followed, and cartilaginous growths were found between the hip sinews.

Now the patient has not left his bed for four years; and he can only move his fingers and his toes.
This is a case of flagrant co- tempt, and I ask you to fine him the maximum amount," said E solicitor in a judgment summons action at Marylebone County Court, The defendant was Captain Sidney Richard Streatfeild, Conservative M.P. for Galloway from 1925 until the last election. The claim was for £37 for goods supplied. Captain Streatfeild had been fined £5 and £for non-appearance at previous bearings, and he did not appear on that day. Jadge Snagge adjourned the case for execution to be levied, but the solicitor said that would be utavalling, as Captrin Streat feild was staying at an hotel.
