They liberated a rabbit, and when it was about 35 yards away they released two greyhounds. The two dogs went in pursuit, fol- lowed by a third dog which broke loose, and the rabbit was quickly overtaken.

"CANNOT BELIEVE HIS EVIDENCE.*

"I regret that once Again police officer-though, I am glad to say, not on duty-has brought a charge which is quite unfounded and has given evidence on oath which I cannot believe."

Mr. Marshall, the West London magistrate, made this remark re- cently when dismissing a charge against Sydney Solomon, 30, a bookmaker, of assaulting P. C. James Watson on May 11.

The Coroner expressed the hope that the public would not touch pieces of aeroplanes in future, né. cidents. na important evidence might be destroyed.

Percy Maxwell Muller, Superin; tendent of Vickers. Aviation, Ltd.,.. said that it was obvious that Bhorratt jumped from the machine.

He had no theory as to how the Messrs. accident happened, and Vickers wero anxious to get nome data.

The matter arose on a resolution moved by Mr. J. Goss (Ulster) re- questing the council to recommend to the Olympic and Tailteann coun- ells that only a national flag symbolic of all Ireland should bo used, and that the council should not permit swimmera under. Its jurisdiction to compete in future games unless their recommendation was accepted.

It was finally decided to adjourn the question until the next con- gress, the official, in the meantime, to go fully into the matter and ro port,
