CELL DEATH

"Someone is Lying,

Says the Coroner

"It is no use beating about the bush; it is perfectly obvious that one of these men is lying," said Mr. Douglas Cowburn, the South London coroner, commenting on the evidence of a prison officer and a police officer at an inquest' in Brixton Prison recently.

The inquiry was on John Edward Corderoy (49), carman, of Fingal Street, Greenwich, who died in a cell while under remand three days after he had been arrested on a warrant in hospital.

The Jury returned a verdict of "Natural Causes" and added that when a prisoner appeared to be it at a police court it should be brought to the nolice of the prison authorities in writing; also that the same should be done whenever a person was arrested on discharge from hospital.

"MALINGERING"

Dr. Francis Power, medical superintendent of St. Nicholas Hospital, Plumstead, said that Corcleroy had suffered from anaemin, dar to starvation.

Corderoy when in hospital lud complained of shortness of breath and he was of the opinion that the complaint was purely because the patient was down for discharge that day, and he thought he was malingering.

Dr. Geoffrey Lister Broderick, medical offeer at the hospital, said: "I knew the police wanted Corderoy, and I thought it was just a try on to stay hospital a.ittle longer."

that

P.C. Charles Vieweg said when he arrested Corileroy at the¦ hospital he was obviously ill, and at Brixton Prison he told the prison offeer that Corderay was ill.

He did not mention the man had been discharged from hospital.

Next day Corderoy was in court again, and in remanding him again the magistrate said he could go into the prison hospital and the probation officer could make quiries to help | "this poor, human creature."

Principal Oficer Wam Watson i said that when he received Corderoy !

"Drunken Sex Orgies'

At Oxford Lashed By Author

A

STORM of protest has risen at Oxford against accusations of wild undergraduate "orgies" in "Oxford, Ltd.," just published by Michael Joseph.

There is a custom in a num-! ber of colleges, says Mr. Keith Briant (the author), last year's editor of The Isis, by which the second-year men give a party for the freshmen. It ia known as "The Freshmen's blind.'

Describing his own visit to such a party, Mr. Briant says: "By cle- ven o'clock the room was a sham- bles. Someone had put his hand through one of the windows. The floor below was bespaltered in blood and whisky. The noise was deaten- Ing.

CARRIED TO BED

"Two or three Freshmen were ly ing

had on the floor, a number already been carried to bed. The floor was littered with broken gluss and empty bottles.

"Foremost of us it was our first experience of drunkenness."

Mr. Brlant speaks of the under- graduate's sexual adventures, te arranges & party. A few friends

are invlied. The girls are then selected.

The

party numbers perlinps -n dozen-six of each sex. Careful pre- parations are made. The sitting room cleared for dancing; the main Jamp is dimmed and the room more tactfully it by a couple of reading lamps.

"These are Intended to give the right atmosphere on arrival. A more than adequate supply of drink is laid in. Some particularly potent drink is ordered to which the girls are not likely to be accustomed."

CLASS AND ROMANCE The author declares, snys a News Chronicle reparter, thai,mën aro pald to sniff out romances between classes, He states that an undergraduate who met a girl who was working in a ba kery Tell in love, but oventually careful parents and threatening proc- 'tors carried the day,

"Oxford had vindicated the In- violability of class and upheld the principle that working girls are as necessarily Immoral as non-work- ing girls are virtuous.

"If the girl lnd been the daughter of a prosperous resident she could have been immoral ns she wished,

he could have seen her as often as he wanted, and no obstacle would have been placed la, his path."

SPINSTER AUTOCRACY

As to those in authority in women's) colleges, he wrlles:

"The chief cause of trouble is the female don. in nine cases out of ten

she is a spinster.

"Oxford women are at the mercy of a spinster autocracy. A girl is expected to look, behave and dress as the spinster did when she was young. If she is alive and pretty and is asked by young men to to to dances she is docketed as an undesirable influence in the college.

The spinster mind, walts until she infringes one of the thousand rules whale clutter life in the women's colleges-then it pounces."

"CRIMINALLY BEHIND"..

In a reference to sport, the writer asserts that in its failure to recognise the importance of co-ordinating. mental and physical activity. Oxford is criminally behind the times.

"I suspect," he says, "that if re-i search were made into the health statistics of past Oxford men the results would be sufficiently alarm- Ing to stir the University

into action,"
