£5,000 SLANDER DAMAGES.

A DOCTOR'S HONOUR VINDICATED.

Loudon, Jan. 15.

A doctor's honour was vindicated. and £5,000 damages were awarded to hint in a remarkable slander suit al Pembrokeshire Assizes yester- day against a Welsh landowner.

Judgment WHA entered, with costs, for the plaintiff, Dr. John Howard Owen, of Fishguard.

The defendant was Mr. Cyril Hugh Sackville Barham, of Letters- ton, & landowner. He conducted his own ease.

The slander complained of was that Dr. Owen had neglected his patients and that he had criminally assaulted a 17-year-old patient and had performed as ilgni operation upon her.

Commissioner T. Hollis Walker, K.G.. before whom the case was heard, in his summing up told the Jury there was no evidence that the slander had been justified. No proof whatever had been offered by Mr. Barham. Still he refused to withdraw his allegations when given the opportunity.

Interference Alleged.

The case took a dramatic turn when the hearing was resumed yes- terday.

Mr. Barham said that there had been an ineident on Wednesday night concerning his main witness, May Lloyd, who, he alleged, had been interfered with. A person got hold of her and prevented him reeing her. Now the girl refused of her to say a word in statement read on W

The Commissioner said that if the girl were called as a witness and refused to answer questions. then would be the time to go into the matter.

Mr. Burhan, addressing the jury, said that the girl had been with hin for two and a half years, and was perfectly happy.

When the girl found herself in trouble at Bournemouth she wanted to come home, and he and his wife could not utlerstand the reason.

He had inken the girl to see Dr. Owen because she said she did not feel strong enough. The doctor told her then, " must seс you by myself."

Bible Oath Story.

Previous to this, the girl had been very friendly with the doctor, who looked on her as his pet girl, added Mr. Barhum. The girl swore on the Bible that the doctor had taken advantage of her. He continued:

"I thought It was my duty to take up this attitude, however, big the man. Letterston is one of the most immoral places I have heard of Girls of 14 and 16 become mothers and think nothing of it."

Mr. Barham said that he was not

in a position to put the girl into the witness box.

Giving evidence he specially denied all the allegations against him in the alleged at the publication of

slanders.
