A feature trial to-day

London, Apr. 29. of the Princetown was the cross- examiration of Mr. Roberts, | Governor of Dartmoor at the time of the January riots, by one of the 30 accused convicts who was defending himself.

"You don't do it very fairly," said Mr. Justice Finlay, after a series of well-framed questions had been put.

Mr. Roberts, the ex-Governor, expressed the view that the frus- trallon of numerous attempts at escape was the real cause of the mutiny, and related an occasion when resentment was exhibited at his refusal to allow men who would not go to church to go to n Concert.

The Home Office later decided that they should be permitted to igo.

The Judge paid a surprise vialt to the prison before the court aut, asked many questions, and was interested in the prisoners in solitary confinement. Reuter's
