Appeal is to be lodged by an authoress who, in the King's Bench Division, lost an action for, alleged slander which she brought against a former woman friend...

At the close of the case Mr. Justice Singleton said of her: "She goes away from this court with a perfectly clear charac- ter. I can understand that she thought it necessary to bring the action."

Recently, through her husband, the authoress,

Mrs. Meriel Knoying wife of Capt. Harold Wilfred Knowing, of Tedworth-square, Chelsen, announced that she had instructed her solicitors to lodge an appeal.

Mrs. Knowing, who writes under her maiden name of Meriel Buchanan, the daughter of Sir George Buchanan, the last British Ambas- sador to Imperial Russia. She es- caped from the revolution with her parents in 1918.

Miss Lawrence then gave evidence. 'She declared she had no recollection of speaking of the Knowlings to Miss Knyl.
