SURPRISE.

FORTUNE SPENT IN THREE; BREAK WITH DUMB FRIENDS

YEARS.

The suicide of a young man whe disposed of £6,000 in three years was investigated at Westminster- recently, when Mr. Ingleby Oddie held. an inquest on James Scott Law, aged 30, who was found dend in his flat in Lichfield Street, Char ing Cross Road, W.C.

Miss Amy Spellgrove Thompson, secretary to Law's father said that the father gave his son £6,000 three years ago for him to settle in life, Instead of doing so, Law took rooms in Lichfield Street and spent the money.

3ir. Oddie: Had he applied for more help-Not so far as I know,

His father more or less cast him of-Yes.

Miss Thompson added that Law had been a great trouble to his family, and when he came to the end of his resources. he pawned things. Mr. Law wished his son to gelato his own business of mazou- facturer of dental appliances, or to enter a profession. It was four years ago when she last saw him.

The housekeeper at the flats said that Law paid £2 78. 04. a week rent for unfurnished rooms, and

had furniture on the hire-purchase SysLcm, He had paid his rent in advance till September. He used to have some noisy friends at the fat. She found bim dead in his pyjamas in a room on the first floor. A doctor said that death was due to poisoning. Tubes containing drugs were found in Law's room,

M. Oddie said that in a letter found on the floor Law had written: "I have taken all the sleeping dope

I have accumulated for motths.'

The coroner added:- "It is a tragic, though not un- familiar, story of a

young, man being provided with a large sum of money, uncontrolled by anybody before he has arrived at the age of discretion, with the object of ren. dering him independent.

"He became, I understand, sur- rounded by parasites and syco- phants, and soon began to drink heavily, and spent the whole of the £6,000 in three years: being left penniless."

In the letter Law directed that "his capphire ring should be given to

a person named.

The letter went on --

**

Can't stop drinking; have no

more money; good life and a hell

of a one.""

Asking for forgiveness, Law sent his love to his mother, sister and niece, and said that he was tired and disillusioned. He requested that his furniture should be return ed to where it came from, and con- cluded with the words: Cheerio, everyone,"

LORD BANBURY AND "ANTI-

Lord Lonsdale resigned the pre sidency of Our Dumb Friends League at the annual meeting of that organisation last week, after two resolutions which he proposed had been defeated. Lord Lonsdale issued the following statement:

The three prisoners had been kept in the open as far as possible on medical advice, as they suffered from inability to eat. an extreme weakness, and a doctor's certificate was read in court giving the opinion. that further confinement in prison would place their lives in immedi- ate danger.

She said, "Lord Lonsdale moved resolutions altering those rules back again. Sir Warren Crooke-Lawless seconded the resolutions, which however, were lost. Lord Lansdale then announced his resignation. The meeting adjourned, and I can- not say when the next meeting will

Lord Banbury, who is a member of the league, and was present at. the meeting, said afterwards:-

The people who opposed Lord Lonsdale are anti-blood sports,' who want to get control of every society like this, so that they can abolish fox-hunting and other such sports."

Lord Banbury added that there was only a small attendance of about ninety at the meeting. The first of Lord Lonsdale's resolutions concerned the election of the execu- tive committer, formerly done by the council.

"Lord Lonsdale was in favour of the old method remaining," said Lord Banbury. "Some of those present apparently wished that the body of the members should not
