THE HONGKONG

The Strange

Case Of

Mrs. Lowick

London, Dec. 5.

TELEGRAPH.

One of the most remark- able cases in recent times is in progress before the Court of Appeal.

It arose out of an appeal of Mr. Philip Lazarus, a Manches- ter magistrate, and his son, Mr. Adolph Lazarus, caliço printers, of Salford, against an award of

£4,719 damages for malicious prosecution to Mrs. Frances 1. Lowick (21) of Rhos-on-Sea, North Wales.

Mrs. Lowick, then unmarried, und a girl of excellent character, was

employed. formerly

by Mcosra. Lazarus in Q clerical capacity. Money was missing by forgery on Jurge scale. Her employers brought a police court action against her, but it was dismissed, and there was no evidence at all as to what she had done with the money, if she had had it. The actual charge was in respect of a small sum of £170 only, but Sir Patrick Hastings (Counsel for the Lazaruses In the Court of Appeal) said cheques, were involved totulling about £1,000.

Thereupon. the girl and her father, -she was then under age-brought the action for malicious prosecution who were un- against the Arm

much Jocai doubtedly held up to odium after publicity all over the British Isles.

The Flem appealed and when the Action was started this week in a Higher Court, Sir Patrick declaring the facts would prove a very grave niacarriage of justice, said: "Mrs. Lowick, formerly employed by Messrs. Lazarus, was awarded the damages at Manchester Assizes last July. She had been acquitted on a for prosecution, in October, 1935, forgery of about £170."

"When Mrs. Lowiek was prosecut- ed before the magistrate the astound- ing thing was there was no evidence at all as to what had been done by her with

the money if she had had It. Since the Actim was tried the most amazing information has come

jama

defend- into the possession of the

shop called Stella's. ants from a

between April. Books show that. 1935, and April, 1938, Mrs. Lowiek Lought £651 worth of clothes there." "Between April 20th, 1935, and October 11th, 1936, when she left employment, she had paid £400 un account to Stella's "

"She always paid in 21 notes. within a day or two of the alleged forgery of the cheques,

"Or the balance of the £650. £170 was paid off in Muy, 1936, after the prosecution and before the civil betion, and a final payment of £51 was made by the young woman's father".

"There also came to the defend- ants knowledge another most 35- tounding fact."

"On December 4th, 1935, somebody went to John Percy & Co. pawn brokers, with Jewellery un which

£20 was advanced,"

"The person pledging the properly gave the name of Beatrice Chartres,

employed Woman

by Stella

#*

Beatrice Chartres has been seen and says that no jewellery of hers "was pledged at all and she knows

nothing about it."

"The pledge-notes have beent_ig= spected and an opinion has been given that they are in the hand- writing of Mrs. Lowick."

"There could be no doubt," Sir Patrick added "that if the evidence wha right the plaintiff and her fatlier are in grave, peril from another asport of the law, having regard to the evidence they swore at the trial.'

"There were, be concluded, an enormous number of grounds appeal".

Br

for

E C. Hemmerde, K.C. for Mrs. Lowick, said, "One of the main ques tions which arose was whether she forged the cheques or whether Mr. Adolph Lazarus signed them in the ordinary course of business and put the money into his own pocket."

The jury found that the latter thing happened as shown by these questions left to them and their an- swers.

"Their verdict, if it stood, must. inevitably lead to the prosecution of Mr. Adulph Lazarus,"

"Our case will be that these books that are supposed to convict, Mrs. Lowlek are forged and have been forged to meet a desperate situa- Lion,"

The plaintiff will, deny that she ever had the things and will say that the people who are now coming forward to help are people who, within a week of the verdict, nsked her to put £2,000 of her damages In to their business."

Sir Patrick gave an undertaking that Mr. Hemmerde should have every facility to examine the Stella books.

And there for the moment the case stands. Fresh evidence is to be called.

American Critic of "£40,000,000 Coronation"

From A Correspondent

New York, Dec. '10.

"I have been reliably informed that the Coronation

is going to cost the British £40,000,000.

"Let them.pay that in interest on their debt to the United States, and

no about their King-crowning in a simple way."

So said Representative Raymond J. Cannon (Democrat, Wisconsin) explaining to me why he is to introduce a resolution into the coming Con- gress calling upon the United States Government to boycott the Coronation ceremony.

OVER THE PHONE

Speaking on the telephone from Milwaukee, Mr. Cannon insisted that the Coronation would cost the sum he mentioned.

Miyach: "Supposing the British wanted to pay that amount on the debt, how would you accept the money-in gold or goods?"

Mr. Cannon: "I'd take it in any way that would relieve te American) taxpayers.

NEVER AGAIN OWN A DOG

Cirencester, Dec. 10. Ernest Grubb, a 52-year-old shep- herd, of Kemble. Gloucestershire,

In Grubb's defence it was said that thing about that. What I usk is- have they made an offer? if they he killed the dog while he was in an make an offer. let the State Depart epileptic fil. ment settle how to accept payment."

The resolution which Mr. Cannon money, for needless display and harm- is to move, fncludes this: "A debtor]ful propaganda without even has no right to waste huge sums of tempting to pay his debts."
