A GUARDS AGAINST

NIGHT STARVATION

Mr. St. John Micklethwan, KC. (for Mr. Bennett and Miss Sharp), referred to letters which he said Mrs. Watson relied on as constituting in agreement under which Bennett should buy machines for her, and read on extract from one, which Etated: "For goodness' sake, don't have a lot of women found you."

Another letter, he said, spoke of a "arkly." The couple were on affectionate terms at that time.

Giving judgment, the Master of the Rolls. Sir Wilfrid Greene, said he came to the conclusion that Mrs. Watson's evidence about the trang- actions with Bennett left the mutter in sinte of uncertainty as to what was the bargain between them.

It was clear that Mrs. Watson had advanced money to Bennett, but there was a complete lack of pre- cision as to what was to be dona with it.

"The fact was that this woman was apparently infatuated with him,"

he said, "and did not formulate any sort of business proposition."

The appeal was dismissed with

costs.

Judge On Freedom Of The Press

WHEN be was asked to sup-

press the name of a man in the Divorce Court recently Mr. | Justice Langton said:

"I cannot give orders about that. It is a matter for the Press. They are always very considerate, but I have no power to order it."

Mrs. Violette Marie Fraser, who now lives in Paris, was granted a divorce on the ground of the adullery : of her husband, Mr. Guy Bosil Fra- ser, and the request was made by her counsel, Mr. R. T. Barnard.

Later the two counsel in the case saw the judge in his private room.

On returning to court Mr. Justice Langton said: "At the outset of this case an appeal was' mode to me by the petitioner that certain details concerning the case should not be published in the Press, and I had occasion to remind her-and it is just as well that it should be thoroughly underslood-that I have no control whatever as to what should be published by the Press.

QUESTION OF LIBERTY

"The freedom of the Press in this country is jusi ns important a ques- tion of liberty as any other liberties of the subject, and Parlament has been neither slow nor supine in lay- ing down what shall and what shall not be reported as for as this Divi- aton is concerned,

"The Legislature has made it a matter of special concern as to how far the ordinary complete freedom should be in any way curtalled. I have no word to say whatever about that,
