Remarkable evidence regarding a

was given at the Inquest at Park: Royal Hospital on Arthur Albert; Lloyd, aged 02, a butcher, of Market-terrace, Willesdon.

It was stated that after a burglary at his house and being nasaulted and | robbed of £60, Mr. Lloyd entrusted his money at work-ends to Detective William Thompson, of the Willes- den C.I.D., who usually kept it in his locker at the police station. Thompson had £51 to look after on Saturday, October 28, but did not roturn it as usual, though he tolo- graphed £25 on the Monday. On Firday Mr. Lloyd became very worried, and, having failed to see Thompson, drank rat polson.

Detective Thompson said that he had been suspended in consequence | of this affair. Ho took care of the money purely out of friendship for Mr. Lloyd. On this occasion a pocket containing £25 either dropp- ed from his pocket or was stolon, He would have paid it to Mr. Lloyd' on the following Monday.

The Coroner (Mr. Reginald Kemp) sald that Detective Thomp- aon could not havo realised that be. cause the money was not im- mediately paid Mr. Lloyd would commit suicide.

The jury returned a verdict of suicide while of unsound mind, "enused by financial worry, ne- centuated by Detective Thompson not returning the money in time"

Later the battle cruiser Hood was held up by a propeller defect, but she will rejoin the Fleet.

In consequence the battle cruiser Renown went out alone for the torpedo attack from the air.

The aeroplanes could not carry torpedoes, however, as there was not sufficient wind for them to
