Gentleman's Magazine	1811	News from various Parts of the Country. COUNTRY NEWS. June 5. A dreadful peal of thunder struck on a miner's cabin near Castleton, where a woman and man were sitting. The woman was thrown into disorder, from the suffocating fumes of sulphur; and, on recovering herself, found her companion a lifeless corpse without the least appearance of injury on his person. Three thousand five hundred panes of glass, belonging to green-houses and hot-houses in the gardens of Earl Fitzwilliam, at Wentworth, in Yorkshire, were broken by a storm. In the West Riding of Yorkshire, the rain which accompanied the thunder wrought up the little rills into torrents, and the rivers into a deluge. Many mill-dams were swept away, bridges broken down, and houses filled with inundation. The low lands which were banked, were overflowed, and the fields frightfully plowed by the new created torrents. Much damage has been sustained by the crops and fences. Ipswich was visited by an alarming tempest. About five in the afternoon, the storm seemed at its greatest height. Upper and Lower Orwell-street had the appearance of a rapid stream, and from the Gun-corner to the Sea-horse (more than sixty yards) there was an entire sheet of water, four and five feet deep; the cellars near the quay were filled. Mr. Chapman's pinery and succession-houses suffered very severely: upwards of 4000 panes of glass were broken. Mr. Causton had 400 panes broken. Great damage has been sustained by other gardeners, and by many persons in the town, not only from the glass that has been broken, but in their furniture from the rain. The hail stones measured 5/8ths of an inch diameter.	SFK	FONS	lxxxi 1811 ii 80

Times	1863	19 November 1863 COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, WESTMINSTER, NOV. 18. ( Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Guildhall, before Mr. Justice CROMPTON and a Common Jury.)CAUSTON V. GOUGH. Mr. Henry James and Mr. J. T. Williams were counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. W. H. Cooke, Q. C., and Mr. Best for the defendant. The plaintiff was a law stationer, in Eastcheap. and he brought this action against the defendant, a solicitor, in Parliament-street, to recover the sum of 21£ 3s. 8d. for goods supplied to and work done for the defendant; 5£ had been paid into court. The only question in the case was, whether the goods and work were supplied and performed on the credit of the defendant or on that of the National Medical Registration Association. After hearing the evidence on both sides,The jury retired, and then came into court and wished to see the plaintiff's ledger. The JUDGE told them that a plaintiff was not permitted to put in his books, and the defendant had not called for them. Generally, it was taken that an invoice was a copy of the book. The plaintiff had sent in his amount to the defendant, who had allowed it to remain for six months before he found any fault with it. The jury then again retired, and some time after they sent in word that they were not likely to agree. The JUDGE asked the counsel what he should do, would they consent to the jury being discharged? Mr. JAMES said he could not say anything, as the Court of Common Pleas had held that, in such a case, each party must pay his own costs. If the costs were to be costs in the cause, he had no objection. Mr. BEST said his attorney was gone, and he could not consent to that. Mr. Justice CROMPTON said he was not anxious to discharge the jury, as juries now seemed to imagine that they need not lay their heads together, but would be discharged in a short time, and the parties were in consequence put to a great expense. He did not see any great difficulty in this case; but if Mr. Best's client had left the court he presumed he had authorized him to represent him. Mr. BEST said perhaps it would be better to keep the jury a little longer, and his client might return in the meantime. Eventually, it was agreed that the jury should be discharged, the costs to be costs in the cause.	LND	FONS
Times	1864	6 July 1864. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, GUILDHALL, JULY 5. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Guildhall, before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and a Special Jury.)DIMSDALE V. CAWSTON AND OTHERS. The plaintiff's attorneys in this case (relating to the sale of Russian Manumission Bonds) write to us to state that the question, 'whether the defendants entered into the contract in entire ignorance of the real nature of the securities,' was reserved for the Court, and was not settled by the ruling of the Lord Chief Justice. They are entirely and unaccountably in error. It was not, and could not be reserved for the Court, since it was a pure matter of fact, and the question of law reserved was whether, being so in ignorance, they were bound by the contract. The plaintiff's own evidence showed beyond a doubt that they were, and the Lord Chief Justice so stated the fact in directing a non-suit - viz., that by the suppression of the Imperial ukase, which showed that the instruments were not negotiable, the defendants were led to believe that they were so, when, in point of fact, they were not so. That they were in ignorance of the nature of the securities, therefore, was distinctly stated and taken as clearly proved, and the plaintiff's counsel did not venture to ask that the opinion of the jury should be taken on that point. The question reserved is whether in law that invalidated the contract, as the Stock Exchange held it did.		FONS
Times	1864	8 November 1864. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, WESTMINSTER, NOV. 7. (Sittings in Banco, before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, Mr. Justice CROMPTON, Mr. Justice BLACKBURN, and Mr. Justice MELLOR.)DIMSDALE V. CAWSTON AND OTHERS. This was the case relative to the sale of Russian Manumission, or Emancipation Bonds, or bonds issued by the Russian Government on the occasion of the emancipation of the serfs by way of compensation to the landowners. The case involves, we were informed, some hundreds of thousands of pounds. The bonds on the face of them were to be delivered in the name of [here followed a blank, which was left for the name of the original holder], and it did not otherwise appear on the face of them, whether they were transferrable or not. But at the back of the bonds was set out the effect of the ukase under which they were issued, from which it appeared that they were not negotiable. It ran thus:-The Imperial statute sanctioned by His Imperial Majesty on the 19th of February, 1851, concerning the redemption by the peasants now emancipated of their land, and the assistance of the Government afforded to the peasants for obtaining the allotted portions of fields. - The proprietors, until these latter are replaced by the State five per cent. bank billets, receive 5 per cent. annually on the emancipation certificates. The due and regular payment of interest on these certificates is guaranteed by the emancipation accounts paid by the peasants, as well as by all the means that are at the disposal of the Government. And then followed this condition:-The certificates can only be given in a certain name, and are transferred only in the same way as prescribed for the sale of immoveable estate. The contract was made by a broker named Thompson, and was merely for Russian Manumission Bonds, to be delivered within 14 days. There was a copy shown, but omitting the ukase printed at the back, and also omitting the name of the original holder, which was filled in. When the buyer ascertained that the bonds were not transferable or negotiable by the holder to bearer (the result of which was that they were worth 9 per cent. less), he repudiated the contract. The matter came before the Stock Exchange Committee, who were unanimously of opinion that the content did not bind. Nevertheless, the seller brought his action, which was tried at the last London sittings before the Lord Chief Justice and a special jury. His Lordship was strongly of opinion for the defendant, the buyer, and directed a verdict for him. Mr. Serjeant SIMON (with him Mr. R. G. Williams) now moved on the part of the plaintiff for a new trial on the ground of misdirection. The defendant, he urged, was not entitled, for there was nothing on the face of the bonds, of which he had a copy, to show that they were negotiable. Mr. Justice BLACKBURN.- There was nothing to show that they were not so. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.- The copy did not contain the ukase at the back of the bonds. Mr. Serjeant SIMON.- That was mere matter of public law, of which the defendant was as much bound as the plaintiff to take notice, and it was no part of the bonds. There was, therefore, no ground on which the defendant could say that he thought that he was buying negotiable bonds, and the seller certainly did not conceive that he was selling such bonds. It was for the defendant to make due and proper enquiries. He must have seen they were a new kind of bond just issued. It was admitted that there were no other bonds but those which answered the description in the contract. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.- You see the copy omitted the name of the original holder, and on the face of it it would appear that the bonds were transferable, and that the blank was to be filled in by the name of the buyer. Mr. Serjeant SIMON submitted that it would rather appear that it was to be filled up by the name of the original holder alone. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.- If the ukase had been in the copy, but that also was omitted. Mr. Serjeant SIMON.- The case was not put upon the ground of fraud. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.- But would it not be fraud if the seller, having one of the bonds in his possession, or a true copy, gave a false copy, which the buyer supposed to be a true copy, and giving the true effect of the bonds, whereas it did not? The buyer would suppose he was buying bonds of which the copy shown gave the true effect, whereas he was not, and was buying something quite different. In short, he was misled into believing he was buying one thing when in reality he was being sold something else. Mr. Serjeant SIMON.- There was no evidence that the buyer believed he was buying negotiable bonds. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.- He certainly did not believe he was buying bonds which were not so, and if the seller knew or supposed he was selling such bonds, then it was surely a fraud; if not, and he believed he was selling bonds not negotiable, then there was no agreement between the parties, and so no binding contract. Surely the seller is in this dilemma, that either there was fraud or there was no contract? Mr. Serjeant SIMON urged that it was not so, as it had not been found by the jury that the defendant was buying bonds negotiable, and that it ought to have been left to the jury to find that fact. Mr. Justice BLACKBURN pointed out that the bonds were to be delivered (i. e., assigned) in a few days, but these could not be. The learned Judges consulted together. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said he thought there should be no rule. It was quite clear that the parties in this country conceived that they were buying bonds of the usual character, transferable and negotiable, and it was admitted that there was nothing either in the contract or the copy of the bond shown to show that they were not so. So far from being negotiable, they would require to be forwarded to St. Petersburg, and go through certain formalities belonging to the law of real property in Russia. That being so, it was manifest that the buyer was not buying such bonds as these, which, indeed, could not be really transferred, according to the contract, promptly and within a few days, but would require considerable delay in the transfer. Mr. Justice CROMPTON concurred. The contract was for early delivery, and that could not mean merely delivery of the certificates, but transfer or assignment of the bonds. That being so, these bonds could not be so transferred or assigned, and there was no contract for them. Mr. Justice BLACKBURN likewise agreed. The contract was for the transfer or assignment of these bonds within a few days - that is, to transfer the title and property and interest in them, not the mere pieces of paper; therefore the seller was not able to perform the contract. There might have been no actual fraud, perhaps (it was charitable so to suppose) - a clerk made a mistake in copying the bond. But in point of fact the plaintiff was not in a position to deliver or transfer that which he had contracted to deliver, and therefore he was not in a position to maintain this action. - Rule refused.

The well had been dug to the depth of aboout 22ft and deceased had come to a strata of fine sand and he had not used the proper cylinder provided by his master, saying he did not need it till he reached water. The sides gave way and 15ft of earth fell on him. The body could not be got out until Wednesday evening, the men having to work with great care. Deceased left a widow and five children. Stephen Rice, labourer, said he was working with deceased pulling up the rope and saw the earth fall on him, he had warned the deceased to use the cylinder. Accidental death from suffocation.

Times	1866	27 January 1866 BAIL COURT, JAN. 26. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Justice SILKE and a Common Jury.)CAUSTON V. THE GREAT WHEAL BONNY TIN MINING COMPANY. Mr. Henry James and Mr. Macrae Moir were counsel for the plaintiff, Mr. Serjeant Tindal Atkinson and Mr. Wood for the defendants. The plaintiffs were large stationers in the city, and they brought this action to recover 381£ 11s. for stationery goods supplied to the defendants, who were said to have had offices at No. 1, Basinghall-street. The defendants denied their liability, except as to the sum of 47£, which they paid into court. The plaintiffs' case was that in July, 1864, a person named Griffin had ordered goods in the name of the company, to be sent to their offices. The orders generally were for stationery of small value, but there was one item for 60,000 prospectuses which amounted to 190£. Clerks at the office signed receipts for the goods as delivered. It was understood that the defendants alleged that there was an arrangement between the company and Griffin that he was to receive a certain sum for promoting the company, which was to include all matters up to the time of the formation of the company. The learned SERJEANT said that the only question was one of liability, and that in the case of their being a verdict for the plaintiff there would be no difficulty in arranging the sum. The delivery of the articles was proved. It was admitted that when orders were given by any person before the company was formed, most likely the person giving the order would be charged. The name of the company was on the doorpost at No. 1, Basinghall-street. It was shown that some of the goods were delivered in the presence of the secretary to the company. The name of the company was painted on the doorpost. The witnesses were cross-examined on the part of the defendants, with a view of showing that Griffin had offices and clerks at the same place, and that the delivery of the goods was for him, and not for the company. The counsel for the defendants, at the end of the plaintiffs' case, submitted that there was no case to go to the jury. No authority to give any order was proved, no agency was shown, and the promoter alone was liable until the company was formed. The JUDGE thought there was no sufficient proof even of the existence of the company. - Plaintiffs nonsuited.	LND	FONS

Times	1867	1 October 1867 ELECTION OF AN ALDERMAN. Yesterday the inhabitants of the civic ward of Bridge, one of the 25 into which the city of London is divided, and so called from its proximity to London-bridge, were convened in public meeting under a precept from the Lord Mayor (Sir Thomas Gabriel) to elect a representative in the Court of Aldermen in the place of Mr. James Abbiss, who had represented it for some years, and who recently resigned the office. The ceremony was held in the vestry of the fine old church of St. Magnus the Martyr, Lower Thames-street. Most of the principal merchants and inhabitants of the ward were present on the occasion, and the Lord Mayor, wearing his civic robes, and attended by the sword and mace bearers of the corporation, presided at the election. A requisition, numerously and influentially signed by the constituency, had been presented to Mr. Joseph Causton, who, with his family, had been long identified with it and the neighbouring ward, and he was in attendance in response to the invitation. Mr. KEELING, merchant, Monument-yard, stood forward to propose a candidate, first expressing his regret at the circumstances which had resulted in the resignation of Mr. Abbiss, the preceding alderman, from whom the constituency had anticipated many years of usefulness. He proposed Mr. Joseph Causton, of Eastcheap, as a fit and proper person to represent the ward in the Court of Aldermen. His ancestors, he said, had been honourably identified with the corporation of London in various ways. Some of them had resided on old London-bridge. His grandfather was formerly Master of the Skinners' Company, and he himself had filled the same office. He was apprenticed in the adjoining ward, and having conducted himself well he was able in due time to commence business on his own account with a good repute in Eastcheap, and had gradually acquired the respect and confidence of his neighbours there, as well as in the adjoining ward of Bridge. By industry and perseverance he was what the world called a self-made man, and as by a peculiar privilege of this happy country offices of distinction, civic and otherwise, were open to all who were properly qualified to discharge the duties connected with them, he now aspired to represent his fellow-citizens among the aldermanic body. He had been a Common Councillor for 20 years, fulfilling the duties to the satisfaction of his constituents, and so acquiring a knowledge of the practical working of the corporation. His name had also frequently been identified with their local charities. Such, in short, was their friend and neighbour Mr. Causton, and he begged to propose him as the alderman of the ward. (Cheers.)The motion was seconded by Mr. THORNTON, one of the principal citizens in the neighbourhood. Mr. WALLER remarking that there were men who had sought and obtained the office of alderman as a handle to their names, and often for their own personal aggrandisement, asked Mr. Causton first, whether he was prepared to devote his time to the performance of the duties of the office; and, secondly, whether or not he was in favour of a county rate for the city. Mr. CAUSTON replied that, if elected, a great part of his time would be entirely devoted to the office of an alderman; and with respect to the county rate it was a question which as yet he did not thoroughly understand, but he should watch it carefully in the interest of his constituents, and with the desire to prevent, as far as that might depend upon him, the citizens being unduly taxed. There being no other candidate, and a show of hands having been taken, the LORD MAYOR declared the election to have fallen upon Mr. Causton. The announcement was received with cheers. Mr. CAUSTON, the Alderman-Elect, expressed his gratification at that fresh mark of confidence in him on the part of his friends and neighbours. He should be ungrateful, indeed, if he did not feel truly sensible of their great kindness. The election had not been won by himself, but entirely by friends who had exerted themselves on his behalf. It would be his great desire to deserve their confidence, and so to comport himself in the office to which they had elected him as, by the blessing of God, to maintain the honour of the magistracy and the independence of it. (Cheers.) It was a proud moment to him to receive so flattering a compliment from men representing as they did the independence, the wealth, and intelligence of the ward of Bridge. It had been said that he was not an inhabitant of the ward. There was, in point of fact, but a brick between him and it, and his family had been long connected with it. His ancestors, as his proposer had stated, were first established upon old London-bridge; his grandfather was Master of the Skinners' Company; he himself had held the same office, and he thought it was a fair passport to the position of an alderman for a gentleman to be able to say that he had occupied the chair of one of the 12 civic companies. (Cheers.)On the motion of the Rev. Mr. M'CAULL, the incumbent of the district, a resolution was unanimously adopted expressing the regret of the meeting at the retirement of Mr. Abbiss as their Alderman, on account of domestic affliction, and their appreciation of his exertions in the cause of education. Mr. Deputy WHETHAM, in moving a vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor for presiding over the meeting, took occasion to remark upon the conspicuous manner in which he had maintained the dignity of his office, and to congratulate him upon the well-earned honour that had been conferred upon him. The motion was seconded by Mr. CAUSTON, the Alderman Elect, and carried with acclamation. The LORD MAYOR, replying to the compliment, said he had certainly been much favoured by circumstances, some of them extraordinary, and he admitted he had endeavoured to make the most of them. He could not create them, but when they arose he had held it to be a duty to see that the corporation of London occupied its proper position on occasions of great ceremony. (Cheers.) He should leave office with the conviction that his fellow citizens had treated him with unvarying consideration. With that the ceremony terminated; and it is a noteworthy circumstance that at the very moment the Lord Mayor was alighting from his carriage to take part in it, and while two or three policemen were specially on duty at the entrance, a foreigner, in passing, who had paused to see the chief magistrate of the city, was robbed of his gold watch. The thief, however, was pursued and caught, and the watch restored to its owner, but with the crystal broken.	LND	FONS
Times	1868	24 August 1868 POLICE. At GUILDHALL CECILIA HARRIS, 17, and EMMA HOGWOOD, 18, were placed at the bar, on remand, before Alderman Causton, charged with committing robberies on little children of tender years. Mary Ann Scrivens said that she saw the prisoners on Friday, the 14th last., between 4 and 5 o'clock in the afternoon, in Aldermanbury, and watched them. She saw Harris take a purse out of the hand of a little girl, named Ellen Randall. Thomas Melliford, 155, said that he took the two prisoners into custody as they were walking up Aldermanbury from London-wall. He took them to the station-house and put them in the dock, and then he noticed Harris put her hand into her dress pocket. As she was drawing it out he caught hold of it and took from it the stolen purse, containing the half-sovereign, the florin, the shilling, and a halfpenny. Harris refused her address and Hogwood gave a false address. Sergeant Musk, 26, said that he had eight clear cases against the prisoners, in five of which the children, he thought, might be sworn. Besides these he had a great number of other cases in which the children were of too tender an age to give evidence. Alderman Causton thought the one case would be sufficient, and the rest could be mentioned to the Judge who tried the prisoners. Sergeant Musk had better have all who had been robbed at the court. Harris said she took the purse, but not with the intention of stealing it. The prisoners were fully committed for trial.	LND	FONS

Woodbridge Reporter	1870	William Smith Cawston. ''The town of Woodbridge has lost a very repectable inhabitant, and a very estimable man by the death of Mr William smith Causton. The deceased was for several years organist at St. Mary's church and from 1862 to 1867 churchwarden of the parish. This later office gave him a seat ex-officio at the board of the Seckford Trust. He was a competent musician and complete master of the instrument he so skillfully manipulated every Sabbath day, to the delectation of those who attended the parish church. As a trustee of the Seckford charity he honestly and faithfuly represented the feelings of the inhabitants by his votes at the board and provoked the ill-will of none of them. In exercising the office of churchwarden, he gave no offence to his dissenting neighbours by resorting to any proceedings unpalatable to their consciences, if it could be avoided without sacrificing his obligation to duty as an officer to the church. He was of an amiable disposition, a christian in spirit, a tender and affectionable husband and father, a warm friend and a good neighbour. His affictions, which were not light, were borne without murmuring and his suavity of manner gained him the good will and esteem of all his neighbours. He died on Monday, the 10th of October, 1870, at his reidence in the Thoroughfare, aged 58, and was buried in the cemetery on the Saturday following - R.I.P.

Times	1872	24 July 1872. POLICE. At WORSHIP-STREET, WILLIAM CAWSTON, of Essex-street, Mile-en Old-town; GEORGE BYER, residing in Albert-street, Spitalfields; JOSEPH KNIGHT, King-street, Spitalfields; JOHN WARD, Grey Eagle-street, Spitalfields; ABRAHAM STANNER, Little Pearl-street, Spitalfields; and RICHARD COOTES, of Quaker-street, Spitalfields, were summoned before Mr. Hannay, under the Elementary Education Act, 1870, for neglecting and refusing to send their children to school, in conformity with the requirements of the Act. Mr. Sydney Gedge, solicitor to the London School Board, appeared in support of the summonses, and stated to the magistrate very fully the powers of the Board and the authority under which the present proceedings were taken. By the Act the Board had power to make by-laws directing that children should be sent to school, and up to what age. One of their orders, made, and allowed by Her Majesty in Council, in December last, directed that every child under the age of 13 and not less than 5 should be sent to school, unless some good and sufficient reason (set out in the by-laws) was urged in excuse. It was under this section of the by-laws the present proceedings were taken, the children in question being all within the prescribed age. Mr. Gedge added that, this being only the second prosecution of the kind instituted by the Board, it would be as well for him to state that the motive was not to have the parents fined for their neglect, to use no harsher term, but only to compel the attendance of the children at school, and save them to society hereafter. The course adopted to secure this result had been most forbearing. Each person, although not demanded by the Act, had been served with notice to send his children to any school he pleased, so long as it was a visited and qualified school. Only when these measures failed were compulsory means sought. The defendant Cawston, it then appeared, had three children - Alice, aged 9; William, aged 8; and Jane, aged 7. He was also summoned in respect of a fourth child, the daughter of his wife by a previous husband, and the age of the child was 10. The defendant's wife, who appeared for her husband, excused herself on the ground that the children had no clothes to go in. They were now without any boots. Her husband was lame, and earned only 18s. a week. Out of that she had to pay 4s. rent, and with the remainder to keep eight of them. Mr. Gedge said, of course, poverty could not be admitted as an excuse in these cases. There were free schools as well as others, where the charge was only 2d. a week, the deficit being made up by a rate, which cost the parishioners about 9d. each. The defendant Byers said that he would be very happy to send his children (two, Thomas and Walter, aged respectively 10 and 7 years) to school, but he had no wife to look after them when he was out. He had also very little work, and sometimes not the halfpence to buy them bread, let alone to send them to school. Thomas Frederick Burrowes, one of the visitors appointed by the Board, said there was a Board school within 200 yards of the defendant's home. The defendant Knight, summoned for two children - Elizabeth, aged 9, and George, aged 7 - was represented by his wife, who said that the children were taken ill, which stopped their going to school. Wigg, another of the visitors appointed by the Board, stated that in April last he called and saw the children playing about. They had been away from school more than a year, and the wife promised that they should go. They were sent for two days but not afterwards. There was a free school within 200 yards, and clothes were sometimes given to make the children decent. He had taken the children home out of the street where he had found them playing. The defendant Ward said that he kept his child, Mary Ann, aged 8, at home to mind the baby. Mr. Gedge said that it was obligatory to send a child under 10; beyond that age such an excuse might be considered. This was a very bad case, as the defendant had abused the officer when doing his duty. Wigg then stated that when he first called upon the defendant he said that he did not intend to send the child, and on calling a second time to urge him to do so the defendant used foul language towards him. Mr. Gedge said that the child was in court, and a fair-haired, hatless little girl, herself fit to be carried by a nurse, was brought forward as the one who had to mind the baby. Mr. Hannay agreed that it was much better she should be at school. The defendant then said that his wife had to go to Billingsgate-market, and he could not send the child before the afternoon. Abraham Stanner, summoned for three children - James, aged 9; Lydia, 8; and Charles, 6 - said that his children had been at home for the holydays. Wigg said that was not spo: they had been at home all last month, and he had called at the schools and not found them there when open. The defendant's wife used violent language towards him when he called. The defendant had another boy who was running a bad course on the streets, and they could not get hold of him. The boy had been charged at this court. The defendant said he did not know anything about his wife using bad language, but he would send the children to school. Mr. Hannay said that this was the only motive of these prosecutions. The defendant Cootes, summoned in respect of one child, was stated to have four in family, not one of whom could read. Wigg said that when he called on the defendant he said that he might send the children, or might not. Mr. Hannay remarked that the defendant's appearance was not such as to warrant a supposition that he could not afford to pay for his child's schooling. The defendant said that he was waiting till some new schools now building opened; and he had one son who could read very well. Mr. Gedge said that he should ask the magistrate to receive the defendants' pleas of Guilty, and then, if they would promise that their children should be sent to school forthwith, to adjourn the cases for a month to see if the promises were kept. He excepted, however, the case of the defendant Ward, whose conduct to the officer was so bad that he should in that instance press for a fine. Mr. Hannay said the conduct of that defendant had been very bad, and that if he still refused to send his children he would be re-summoned. He ordered Ward to pay the maximum fine for one child of 5s., including costs. The other defendants having in some instances, after a good deal of hesitation, promised to send their children at once, were ordered to come up for judgment in one month if called upon to do so.

Times	1874	6 August 1874. HOME CIRCUIT. GUILDFORD, AUGUST 3. (Before Baron BRAMWELL and a Special Jury.)FLORY V. CAUSTON AND OTHERS. This was an action against the well-known city firm of Sir J. Causton and Co. printers and stationers, by a clerk lately in their employ for malicious prosecution, false imprisonment, and wrongful dismissal. Mr. Serjeant Parry, Mr. Morgan Howard, Q. C., and Mr. Alfred Hardy were for the plaintiff; Mr. Day, Q. C., and Mr. W. A. Lewis for the defendants. The plaintiff, who had been first in the service of Messrs. Waterlow (the firm of Sir Sydney Waterlow and Co.) and then for 11 years in the service of Causton and Co., was a foreman in their employ, and part of his duty was to check the padlock of the safe in his department. For some time past this book was made out or kept by a clerk named Peatin, he wrote the names of the men and the sums they were to receive. When their accounts were made up for a week they were supposed to be checked by the plaintiff, and a requisition was issued by Mr. Albert Causton for the amount which was to be received by the plaintiff from the cashier and the various payments were then made by the plaintiff to the men, with the assistance of Peatin. On the week ending the 6th of June last the books had been thus made up for the amount of £24 12s., whereas the real amount was £21 12s., the fraud being effected by erasures and alterations of several items, so as to make up the larger amount, and on the account thus made out the plaintiff received from Mr. Albert Causton the sum of £24 12s., being £3 in excess of the right amount. The men were paid as usual, no disclosure was made to the firm of any mistake, and the sum of £3 was retained and not accounted for. Next Saturday, the 13th of June, Mr. Albert Causton, examining the book, found out the fraud, and also detected another similar attempt as to an item of £1 for the current week. He at once sent for the plaintiff and Peatin, and asked for an explanation. The plaintiff said he could give none and knew nothing about it. He admitted that he must have received the larger amount, but declared he knew not how it came to be received, and that he knew nothing as to the entries. The Messrs. Causton said they would only look to him for an explanation, as he received the money, and it was his duty to check the book in which it had been received, and unless he could explain it they must give him into custody, and, after some delay and consideration, they did so and the plaintiff was brought up before the magistrate on the charge, remanded on bail for a week, and then brought up again. The clerk Peatin then, however, admitted, it was said, the erasures and entries were his, and the magistrate, it was stated, told him indignantly that he was a vagabond who had tried to throw his fraud upon a fellow servant, dismissed the charge against the plaintiff, and ordered Peatin into the dock in his place. Peatin was then charged with the fraud, and the plaintiff was a witness against him, and Peatin was committed for trial. The Messrs. Causton then had an interview with the plaintiff, and told him that they considered he had been very negligent in not checking the entries in the book, but, as there had only been negligence and no fraud, they would receive him back again into their service, and they were quite willing to pay him his expenses. He claimed, however, a sum of nearly £20; that is, the sum of œ19 4s. This the firm considered extravagant, and asked for items. The claim was then reduced to £13 7s., but still it was thought excessive, as the attorney had only charged £4 4s. for his two attendances, and the main items were for loss of time, &c. They then told him that their opinion of him was much altered for the worse by this excessive claim, which they could not help thinking an attempt at extortion, and they must now consider whether they could receive him back into their service, but they told him to call again, and they would let him know their determination. He never, however, went to them again, but went to an attorney, who, on the 25th of June, wrote to them a claim for ample compensation for the false imprisonment and prosecution, and their attorney replied to the effect that they had been fully justified in giving him into custody under the circumstances, and that had it not been for his excessive claim they would have reinstated him in their service. This action was then brought,in which was included a claim for wrongful dismissal, although no such claim had been made by the attorney. Substantially, however, it was an action for false imprisonment and malicious prosecution, and the case for the plaintiff was that Peatin had stolen the money: but, in the meantime the grand jury had ignored the charge as against Peatin, and under such circumstances the case came on for trial. The plaintiff, in his evidence, declared he knew nothing of the matter except that the figures written on the erasures were Peatin's, but he admitted that, as a rule, he checked the entries in the book; that if he had done so on this occasion the fraud would have been discovered, and that he had omitted to do so. In answer to questions from the learned Judge, he stated that at the time of paying the men Peatin held the book and read out the names and sums, and he paid the money, so that, as the learned Judge observed, the plaintiff himself had the money. But the plaintiff said that he was called out, being very busy at the time. The plaintiff denied, though not without some doubt and hesitation, that he had been told at the last interview to call again for the final decision of the firm, and he insisted that he had been dismissed. But his claim on that head was only for £10 for a month's notice. At the close of the case for the plaintiff,The learned JUDGE said there was no case on the count for malicious prosecution, as there was no evidence of malice on the part of the Messrs. Causton, and there was reasonable and probable cause for making the charge. It was then submitted that there was, therefore, no case as to false imprisonment, and the learned Judge seemed to be of that opinion, but thought it better to leave the question to the jury. The learned JUDGE, in summing up the case to the jury, said that if the Messrs. Causton had been a little hasty at first, they had made up for it amply by their generous resolution to take the man back into their employ, which he thought very magnanimous and if the plaintiff had lost his employment, it was entirely on account of his ridiculously exaggerated claim for expenses. However, the claim for wrongful dismissal resolved itself into a mere trifle, and the real question was as to the criminal charge made against the plaintiff. As to this he said the law was that if a felony had been committed a person might be given into custody on reasonable grounds of suspicion, and here it was clear that a felony had been committed. The question then was not whether the plaintiff was guilty of it, but whether there were reasonable grounds for suspecting him of it. Beyond a doubt the £3 had been stolen and by whom. The theft might have been committed by Peatin alone, or by the plaintiff alone, or by both in conjunction. Now, it could not have been committed by the plaintiff alone, for the erasures and entries, it appeared, were Peatin's. Was it committed by Peatin alone? The difficulty in that view was that the plaintiff checked the book, and held the money in his hands, so that Peatin, if he was guilty of the fraud by himself, must have done it knowing he was liable to instant detection, and that he could not get the money, except in the event of the plaintiff being called away. And it was singular that on the occasion after the fraud was committed the plaintiff should have omitted to check the entries and should have been called away during the payment. Howe came Peatin to anticipate the occurrence of both contingencies? Then came the third hypothesis, that the fraud was committed by Peatin and the plaintiff in collusion. The question now was not whether this was so, but whether there were, at the time, reasonable grounds for thinking so. If so, then - on the main matters - the defendants were entitled to the verdict. The jury retired to consider their verdict, and were absent a considerable time. Eventually they returned into court with a verdict for the defendants on the chief counts, and for the plaintiff only as to the claim of £10 for dismissal.	LND	FONS

Times	1876	26 August 1876. POLICE. At the MANSION-HOUSE yesterday, MARY JANE CAUSTON and ELIZABETH ABBOTT, sisters, were charged before Alderman Sir Robert Carden, on remand, with forging and uttering six bankers' checks, representing in all the sum of £110, with intent to defraud Messrs. Williams, Deacon, and Co., bankers, Birchin-lane, City. Mr. Mullins, one of the solicitors to the London Bankers' Protection Association, prosecuted; and Mr. Sampson, solicitor, defended. The evidence given on the former hearing went to show that Mrs. Sarah Large Smith, a widow, of Holland-road, Kensington, keeps an account at the banks of Messrs. Williams, Deacon, and Co., and that a check for £20 was presented there for payment on the 16th of July last by a clerk of the London and South-Western Bank, and paid. Mr. James Blake, postmaster at Notting-hill, deposed that, about the 13th or 14th of July, the check in question was brought to him in the way of business, and he paid it into his bankers, the London and South-Western, on the 14th of July. He had received it from the prisoner, Mrs. Abbott, who had asked him if he could oblige a Mrs. Smith, of Holland-road, in that neighbourhood, by cashing it. He had previously known Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Abbott by their coming to his shop. Mrs. Smith said the signature Sarah L. Smith, on account of Smith and Henley, to the check produced - that for £20 - was not her signature nor even a good imitation of it. The two prisoners had been in her service, and she fully trusted them. She kept her check-book under lock and key, but might have left the desk open occasionally. Edward Hancock, a city detective, serjeat, deposed to going on the evening of Wednesday week [16 August 1876], in the company with Detective Jones, of the X Division, and the witness Mr. Blake, to a house in Morland-road, where he saw the two prisoners, and Mr. Blake pointed out to him the prisoner Abbott as the woman who had presented the check for £20.Hancock told the prisoners they were police officers, and, addressing the prisoner Causton, reminded her that she had been that day trying to cash the check for £20, purporting to be signed by her late mistress, Mrs. Smith. She replied that she had, and that she had since burnt it. He then showed both prisoners the six checks, and told them they represented £110 in money, and that between them they had cashed them. The prisoner Abbott, after being importuned to tell the truth, said they had had the money and had spent it principally on clothing. Witness told them that there were still four or five checks missing from Mrs. Smith's check-book. The prisoner Causton replied that she had burnt those, with one she had that day, adding that she had only cashed two. Yesterday, on the hearing of the case being resumed, Mrs. Smith, re-called, identified the check-book from which the checks had been taken. The counterfoils, she added, had also been torn out. The two checks produced were not signed by her, nor by her authority. Witness had occasionally, while the sisters were in her service, sent out Abbott with checks signed by witness, on account of Smith and Henley, with which to pay tradesmen. But when they were for household expenses witness made them payable to self. Mr. Drew, a cashier in the bank of Messrs. William, Deacons, and Co., said two of the checks had passed through his hands and been paid by him. Frederick Pearce, foreman to Mr. Frederick Holland, Castle-place, Forest-hill, said a check, dated the 2d of August, was brought to him by Causton. He cashed it for her knowing her as a servant of Mrs. Smith, and paid it into Mr. Holland's bank. Mr. William Craden identified a check, dated the 4th of August, which he said had been brought to Mr. Holland's place of business by Causton, whom witness had previously known, and he cashed it. This was the case for the prosecution, and the prisoners, who said they had no defence, were committed for trial. Sir Robert Carden took occasion, in the public interest, to call special attention to a printed caution which appeared on all the check-books issued by the prosecutors to all their customers. It was, he said, in these terms: - Messrs. Williams, Deacon, and Co. request the favour of their friends to confine their draughts as much as possible to the printed form, and to take care that the checks delivered to them, which are entered and numbered accordingly, may not come into the possession of persons unauthorized to use them. Attention to this point will tend materially to diminish frauds, which have been committed to a considerable extent upon bankers generally. Sir Robert Carden said it was the bounden duty of every person who kept a check-book to lock it up as carefully as if it contained so many bank-notes. If the prosecutrix had exercised common caution in this respect and had followed the recommendation of her bankers - which, as a rule, was the recommendation of bankers in general - the offence with which the prisoners were charged, could never, in all probability, have been committed.

At SOUTHWARK, SIR JOSEPH CAUSTON and Co., wholesale stationers and printers, 114, Southwark-street, Borough, were summoned before Mr. Slade, by order of the Home Secretary, under the Smoke Nuisances Act, for using two furnaces in their factory so constructed as not to consume the smoke. Chief Inspector Huntly, M Division, conducted the prosecution on the part of the Commissioners of Police. Frederick Seymour, 195 M, said that on Friday afternoon, the 3d of last month, he was on duty in Southwark-street, when he saw volumes of black smoke issuing from the defendant's shaft. He called the attention of 71 M to it, and they both entered the premises and saw the engineer at work with two furnaces and told him of the smoke issuing from the shaft. He denied it, but on going into the street and seeing the smoke coming out, admitted that the furnaces were out of order. He said he could not help it. The nuisance had been going on for some time and complaints had been made about it. Mr. William Sandison, C. E., the Government Inspecting Engineer under the Smoke Nuisances Act, said he visited the defendants' premises on the morning of the 10th of last month and found the furnaces in full work. They were constructed to consume the smoke, but were out of order. There were also two other furnaces in action not constructed. Smoke was emitted from the shaft. Inferior fuel was being used which made it worse. He spoke to Mr. Walsh, the manager, and he promised to have the machinery put in proper order, but up to the 15th the smoke was as bad as ever. He understood that the furnaces had now been altered. Mr. Slade fined the firm £3 and £1 13s. 6d. costs.	LND	FONS

In this case a question of some novelty arose under the will and codicil of the late Mr. Samuel Courtauld, who was a crape manufacturer, and formerly member of Parliament for Maldon, in Essex. The testator, whose personal estate was sworn at upwards of a million of money, by his will, made in 1879, bequeathed a legacy of £70,000 to trustees upon certain trusts in favour of one of his adopted daughters therein named, and a legacy of £80,000 upon similar trusts in favour of another adopted daughter also named, and he declared that the term the said residuary legatees thereinafter used should be considered to designate all persons thereinbefore named as pecuniary legatees. He then gave and bequeathed his residuary estate in trust for and to be divided among the said residuary legatees pro ratƒ in proportion to the amounts of the legacies thereinbefore bequeathed to the said residuary legatees respectively. By a codicil the testator revoked the legacy of £70,000, and in substitution for and not in addition to the £70,000 he gave to his trustee the sum of £80,000 upon the same trusts as those declared in the will concerning the £70,000, and in the same manner as if they were then repeated, and in a similar way he gave a legacy of £140,000 in substitution for the £80,000 given by the will. The question was whether or not the adopted daughters were entitled to shares of the residuary estate, it being contended that their legacies having been revoked by the codicil they were not pecuniary legatees thereinbefore named within the meaning of the words of the will. Mr. W. F. Robinson, Q. C., and Mr. Procter appeared for the plaintiffs; and Mr. Eddis, Q. C., and Mr. Carson, Mr. Kekewich, Q. C., and Mr. Collier, Mr. Graham Hastings, Q. C., Mr. Davey, Q. C., and Mr. Watson, and Mr. Ingle Joyce appeared for other parties. Mr. JUSTICE KAY was of opinion that the effect of the codicil was that the will must be read for all purposes exactly as though the sums mentioned in the codicil were inserted in the will in lieu of the sums of £70,000 and £80,000 thereby given, and that the two adopted daughters were therefore entitled to share in the testator's residuary estate, in the proportion to the amounts of their augmented legacies.

Times	1889	28 November 1889. p6 col E issue 32868. FREEDOM OF CONTRACT IN LONDON. TO THE EDITOR OF Times. Sir,-Would this momentous question ever have arisen if the late Metropolitan Board of Works had made London more beautiful by supplying it with ten times the number of handsome streets of the same width and importance as Regent-street? London tenants are simply suffering from concentration and the scarcity of good thoroughfares in a very big town. Take the West Central district, for example; as an architect, I beg to submit that the best scheme for landlords, tenants, workmen (architects included), and the ratepayers generally of this district would be for the London County Council to commence at once to widen all the existing streets running south from Oxford-street and Holborn to the Strand and Fleet-street and to make them the uniform width of 90 ft., and running direct from the northern thoroughfare to the southern. The one street, as at present proposed, running at an angle of 45 deg., will, I am afraid, make many awkward building sites and inartistic street corners, and will create a high price for a small number only of plots of land, whereas a thorough scheme, as I suggest, would raise the value of all the land and leave plenty of room for tenants to go next door and also would satisfy all the requirements of traffic. It is useless to argue that so many fine streets would not be profitable. Look at Paris or the City of London. Even the west of London itself proves the contrary, because, during the ups and downs of the last 50 years, two streets like Regent-street and Bond-street have managed to exist although close together.

Essex Standard	1891	BRIGHTLINGSEA,SIX BBIGHTLINGSEA MEN DROWNED.—DAMAGE TO BRIGHTLINGSEA VESSELS. The heaviest gale that has been known here for many years past was experienced on Wednesday. The wind blew a perfect hurricane during Tuesday night and all day on Wednesday. During the day on Tuesday the wind had been very light, but towards the evening began to strengthen, with the barometer falling very fast, and the old salts could see by the moon that a dirty night was inevitable. The wind had then got round to the East, with occasional sharp, biting, rain squalls, which lasted till between three and four on Wednesday morning, when it veered round to the South, increasing in violence. As the morning dawned it got to S.S.W., where it kept with unabated fury throughout the day. Some very narrow escapes are reported from falling slates and tiles, but worst of all is that Brightlingsea is again submerged in grief through the loss of six of her brave sailors. This is the death-roll as far as can at present be ascertained, hut we do not know how many more may swell the list. The smack Gemini, of Brightlingsea, with the Volunteer, came out of Havre on Tuesday, where they had been dredging in Caen Bay, making Havre their port. They were making a passage home to enter upon the stowboat season, when they came into the full force of the gale. The Gemini had all her sails blown away, and shipped such heavy seas as to wash four of her hands overboard out of six, and they were seen no more. The names of the lost are John Causton, master (married, three children), John March (single), and Thomas PIummer and Edward Flummer, brothers (single). Intelligence of the disaster was received at Brightlingsea from Ramsgate on Thursday morning, stating that the Gemini, which belongs to Mr. J. Ward, sen., had been towed into that port with the two other hands on board, one of whom was the captain's son and the other James Southgate. The Volunteer arrived in the Colne about 10 a.m. on Thursday, having weathered the gale without loss of life. She had seen a signal of distress on the Gemini, but was utterly powerless to render them any assistance. The crew of the Volunteer expected their own vessel to founder. Most of the stowboat fleet got into Sheerness, and those that have arrived report the loss of anchors and chains, and ten or twelve have lost their boats.

Times	1900	9 November 1900 HIGH COURT of JUSTICE. QUEEN'S BENCH DIVISION.(Before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and MR. JUSTICE KENNEDY.)CAWSTON V. BROMLEY URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL. This was an award stated by agreement in the form of a special case. The Bromley District Council on February 13. 189. gave notice under the Public Health Act, 1875, to Mr. Cawston. of Bromley-hill to sewer, pave, &c., a portion of Highland-road. Bromley. The notice not having been complied with, the council executed the works, the expense of which was certified by their surveyor at £717 11s. 9d. The Surveyor declared that sum chargeable against the frontagers and apportioned £372 12s. 4d. as being the proportion payable by Mr. Cawston in respect of the frontages owned by him. Mr. Cawston disputed the apportionment, and in pursuance of sections 150 and 257 of the Public Health Act, 1875, appointed an arbitrator. The council also appointed an arbitrator. The arbitrators, having differed, appointed an umpire, who, by agreement, stated his award in the form of this special case. At the hearing before the umpire it was contended on behalf of Mr. Cawston that he was entitled to dispute the right of the District Council or their surveyor to charge part of the amount which was paid for work executed to the road on the ground that such amount related to a sewer already vested in the District Council. It was objected on the part of the council that it was not competent to the umpire to enquire into the propriety of the items of cost as they could not properly be questioned in this arbitration, which was limited by the provisionsof sections 150 and 257 of the Public Health Act, 1875. The question for the opinion of the Court was whether the certificate of the surveyor was conclusive evidence before the umpire of the total amount to be charged against the frontagers for the works executed on the road by the District Council. Mr. CLARKE WILLIAMS, for the District Council, in support of the objection upon their behalf relied on Bayley v. Wilkinson (16 C. B., N. S., 161); Cook v. Ipswich (L. R., 6 Q. B., 451); Walthamstow Local Board v. Staines (1891, 2 Ch., 606); and Folkestone v. Brooks (1893, 3 Ch., at p. 27). Mr. MORTEN SMITH, for Mr. Cawston, in support of the contention that the certificate of the surveyors was not conclusive before the umpire as to the total amount to be charged against the frontagers, cited Handsworth District Council v. Derrington (1897, 2 Ch., 438); Fulham District Board of Works v. Godwin (1 Ex. D., 400); and Bonella v. Twickenham Local Board (20 Q. B. D., 63). The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, in giving judgment, said that in his opinion this was an attempt to induce the Court to decide a question which had already been decided in the Court of Appeal. Ever since Bayley v. Wilkinson, and through a long series of cases ending with the Sandgate case (1892, 1 Q. B., 831) and the Folkestone case, the contrary to Mr. Morten Smith's contention had been decided. In his opinion Mr. Clarke Williams's objection was correct and the surveyor's certificate for the purposes of the arbitration was binding upon the umpire as to the total amount. Mr. JUSTICE KENNEDY concurred.	KEN	FONS	9 Nov p13 colA 36295

Times	1903	25 November 1903 LAW REPORT, NOV. 24. KING'S BENCH DIVISION. ( Before MR. JUSTICE LAWRANCE.)KELLY AND GEORGE V. CAWSTON. This was an action in which the plaintiffs claimed £5,028 1s. 7d., the principal and interest under a bill of exchange drawn by the plaintiff J. Carling Kelly and accepted by the defendant, George Haworth Cawston, on February 24, 1903. The plaintiff Charles Eden George a judgment creditor against Kelly, was joined as holder of the bill under an order of Court appointing him receiver thereof. Mr. J. B. Matthews appeared for the plaintiffs; and Mr. Macoun for the defendant. The signature of the acceptance not being disputed, Mr. Matthews put in the bill and called no evidence. The defendant's case was that the bill, which was for £5,000, was obtained from him by fraudulent misrepresentations and for no valuable consideration. He said he had known Mr. E. T. Hooley since last Christmas, and signed bills at his instigation for about £140,000, without a sixpence of consideration. On the occasion on which he signed the bill in question, he met Hooley at the Hotel Albemarle, where Hooley lived in rooms for which 25 guineas a week were paid. Hooley said he was reconstructing the Sapphire Corundum Company; that, when it was reconstructed, the shares would be very valuable; that he had a friend from Canada named Kelly, who could sell him some shares; and that. if the defendant paid for them by bill, the shares could be resold before the bills became due. Hooley then called Kelly into the room, and Kelly confirmed his statements. Thereupon the defendant signed the bill, which was for six months, and received a transfer of 20,000 ordinary shares. The transfer was registered, and he had voted as shareholder, but he had discovered that the company was not being reconstructed and the shares were worthless. The company was wound up on June 16. Kelly had since told him that he would never take proceedings against him on the bill, as he was himself pleading fraud in some litigation with one Bradshaw, arising out of the same transaction. The plaintiff George was called on behalf of the defendant. He said he could not say where Kelly was. He saw him some months ago in the Bankruptcy Court. He had tried to sell the bill. The witness was examined at some length as to the Sapphire Corundum Company, to which he said that he was the nominal vendor of the property. MR. JUSTICE LAWRANCE said that he had no doubt whatever that the whole transaction with regard to the Sapphire Corundum Mine was fraudulent from beginning to end, and that George knew it. There would be judgment for the defendant with costs. He ordered that the bill should remain in Court.	LND	FONS
Times	1903	30 March 1903 LAW REPORT, March 28. HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE. CHANCERY DIVISION.(Before MR. JUSTICE JOYCE.)CAWSTON V. TAYLOR-WARREN. This was a motion by the plaintiffs for an injunction to restrain the defendant, the Rev. Rowland Taylor-Warren, from entering or attempting to enter certain premises of the plaintiffs, known as Christ Church, Earlham-grove, Forest-gate, and from officiating or attempting to officiate as the minister of such church, and from interfering in any way with the conduct of the religious or other services held or to be held therein by the plaintiffs or any other person appointed or to be appointed by them. It appeared that the plaintiffs were the trustees and the freeholder of the church in question, which was not connected with the Established Church nor any other denominational body. The church was leased by the freeholder to the trustees for the purposes of carrying on upon the premises a church and Sunday school with services similar to those of the Established Church, and the plaintiffs alone were responsible for the conduct of such services. By an agreement dated April 2, 1901, the defendant was appointed to the office of minister or incumbent of the church. The agreement provided that the defendant's appointment might be determined either by himself or by the trustees upon certain written notice. The plaintiffs alleged that the defendant's appointment had been duly determined by notice under the agreement, and that notwithstanding such determination he intended, assisted by his friends, on Sunday next [29 March 1903] to use physical force to prevent the minister who had been asked by the plaintiffs to take the services on that day from entering the church and pulpit. In these circumstances, Mr. ATKIN yesterday applied ex parte for an injunction in the terms above mentioned. His Lordship on that occasion directed the defendant to be served with notice of the motion. When the motion came on again this morning the defendant was represented by Mr. COZENS-HARDY, who applied for an adjournment. Mr. JUSTICE JOYCE said that upon the documents which he had seen the legal title was plainly in the plaintiffs. In those circumstances, and there being a dispute as to whether the defendant was still the minister of the church, his Lordship was going to do his best to prevent any riot or unseemly disturbance taking place there to-morrow. He thought the defendant might well consider, at his Lordship's request, without prejudice to any question in the action, whether he could not undertake to keep away from the church until after next Friday, and not to be a party to any disturbance there. The defendant, through his counsel, having expressed his willingness to comply with this suggestion,His LORDSHIP then dictated the following undertaking, which the defendant signed in Court: - At the request of the Judge, and without prejudice to any question, I give my word of honour as a minister not to enter the chapel premises, or to cause, instigate,or abet any disturbance of any of the services there until after Friday, April 3. Upon this undertaking his Lordship directed the motion to stand over until Friday next, saying that he expected from the plaintiffs that any minister who should be appointed by them to conduct the services in the meanwhile should do so in a discreet and impartial manner, and should make no reference whatever in the church to the matters in dispute. One of the plaintiffs who was in Court undertook that this should be so.	LND	FONS
Times	1903	4 April 1903 HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE. CHANCERY DIVISION.(Before MR. JUSTICE JOYCE.)CAWSTON V. TAYLOR-WARREN. In this case the plaintiffs, who were the trustees of a church at Forest-gate, sought an injunction to restrain the defendant from interfering in any way in the services at the church. The defendant had been the minister of the church, but his appointment had been determined by notice in accordance with the agreement under which he was appointed. Notwithstanding this he still claimed to carry on the services; and the trustees brought this action to restrain him from doing so. On Saturday last, as reported in Times of March 30, he gave an undertaking to the Court not to go to the church or be a party to any disturbance there until after to-day. Mr. ATKIN, who appeared for the plaintiffs, now stated that the defendant was willing to continue his undertaking until the trial of the action. In these circumstances, counsel requested that the hearing of the motion should stand over to the trial; but he asked for an order upon the defendant to deliver up to the plaintiffs the keys of the church and of the safe containing the marriage registers. Mr. COZENS-HARDY, for the defendant, said that his client was willing to deliver up the keys of the church, but he was not at liberty to part with the key of the safe without the sanction of the Registrar-General. Mr. JUSTICE JOYCE ordered the defendant to deliver up the key of the safe; and the motion stood adjourned until the trial.	LND	FONS
Times	1903	3 September 1902 THE COLONIAL CONFERENCE AND THE METRIC SYSTEM. TO THE EDITOR OF Times. Sir, -I agree with your correspondent the secretary of the Decimal Association that the intrusion of new names such as metric inch, metric gallon, will tend to complicate rather than simplify matters. But why does Mr. Johnson introduce a new spelling of metre? Meter is an instrument for measuring, metre a standard of measure. Surely there are enough words in our language which are spelt the same but have different meanings. Mr. Johnson would have served his cause better if he had shown the origin of the metre and the simple way in hwich it is connected with the litre and the gramme. The metre was fixed at what was thought at the time to be the ten-millionth part of the distance from the Pole to the Equator; the cubic decimetre being the standard of capacity, a litre, and a litre of water at a temperature of, I think, 60 deg. F. a kilogramme, thus giving the standard of weight: - the gramme. Surely we should be glad to accept such simple and logical standardsas introduced by the French, and not even alter the spelling of the words. How well this system compare with the means by which some of our standards have been established; an acre being founded upon the amount a horse could plough in a day, and the zero of our thermometer being a mixture of snow and sea salt instead of the simple 100 degrees between freezing and boiling points of the centigrade thermometer. If the complicated figures caused by all our tables could be discarded from our lesson books our children could learn other things much more useful to them. Let us once and for ever banish all such words as yard, gallon, pound, all local and special trade measures, and forget that in one trade a pound consists of 20 and in anotherof 12 ounces.

Times	1903	25 November 1903 LAW REPORT, NOV. 24. KING'S BENCH DIVISION.(Before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE of ENGLAND and a SpecialJury.)HOOLEY V. BOOTH. The hearing of this action, brought by Mrs. Anna Maria Hooley, the wife of Mr. Ernest Terah Hooley. to recover £2.800. the balance alleged to be due to her on the sale of shares in the Sapphire Corundum Company, was concluded to-day. The case was fully reported in Times of this morning. Mr. Atherley-Jones, K. C., and Mr. Henry Kisch were for the plaintiff, and the defendant, Mr. Handel Booth, conducted his own case. Mr. Booth, in summing up his case to the jury, said there was only one letter in support of the plaintiff's claim, asking defendant for £250 when he was only willing to pay £200. There was no corroboration of the plaintiff's case. The plaintiff claimed to have the right of a stock and share broker, and he could not produce any books. His proceedings in defending the action was to lay bare the proceedings of Mr. Hooley before the country. His position was so responsible as chairman of the company that he could not come to any compromise, and decided to fight it out. The writ was served on him immediately after the board sent out notices that the company was going into liquidation. Cawston's conduct in the box was to his credit as he honestly wished to make a clean breast of the enormity of his transactions. As to the counter-claim, Mr. Hooley assured him that £10,000 of working capital was found, and that it was in the bank. He found that that was untrue, and hedemanded his money back. Mr. Hooley said his wife was a wealthy woman, and all the money would be forthcoming. The prospectus stated that the working capital had been guaranteed. He always faced Mr. Hooley with the statement that he must pay up the working capital, or he must have his money back. The plaintiff always replied that he would pay up out of the proceeds of the sale of an estate. With regard to the bribe, he did not think that the reputation of a crossing-sweeper would be enhanced by the refusal of a bribe from Mr. Hooley, and therefore he took no credit for having refused it. He asked the jury to give him back his £200 which he paid through false representation. The liquidator on this side was without funds and the shares were worthless. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE pointed out that his claim was against the wife. Mr. Booth. - Yes; but the plaintiff's counsel stated that Mr. Hooley was agent for his wife, and everything done was by Mr. Hooley on behalf of his wife. Mr. ATHERLEY-JONES, in reply, stated that there had been imported into the case a mass of prejudice which obscured the true issues. They started at once with a presumption against Mr. Hooley, which was imported into every case in which he was plaintiff or defendant. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said there had been nothing introduced into the case as a matter of prejudice, and everything that had come out he should have to tell the jury they must consider in connexion with the case. Mr. ATHERLEY-JONES said he was referring to what had been said about Mr. Hooley's style of living and his estates. He asked them in deciding the issues to eliminate the fact that Mr. Hooley was connected with the case. If they did, the balance of evidence was in favour of Mrs. Hooley. It had been established that it was a bona fide property of commercial value, had it not been for the wrecking character of a certain section of the Press. He asked them to extend to his client the same consideration as they would extend to any other respectable citizen of the City of London. The 25,000 shares were said to have been transferred for the purposes of reconstruction. The defendant, at a meeting of the shareholders, said he had bought a large block of shares to show his confidence in the company. He wondered what the shareholders would have thought if he had meant the 5,000 shares for which he had paid lOd. each. There could be no doubt that he referred to the 25,000 shares. There could be no mincing matters; this was an allegation of fraud against Mr. Hooley - the allegation upon which the defendant said he wasinduced to purchase the shares. In the report it was stated the working capital had been guaranteed. In a sense it was, because Mrs. Hooley was under an agreement, and had undertaken to find a considerable amount of capital, and she was out of pocket £18,000. Mr. Hooley, as the custodian of his wife's money, would be very careful how he paid it out. The defendant said he thought the £10,000 was lodged at the bank. The defendant asked the jury to believe that, as a shrewd business man, he took Mr. Hooley's word for it. Was it possible that Mr. Hooley told him that, when he must have known that the defendant could have easily ascertained that it was not true? Was that likely? When a man made a charge of fraud he should not wait, but act at once to vindicate his claim. If the defendant had taken proceedings a year ago perhaps the position might have been different. The plaintiff did not bring the action because both sides were playing the game of hands off, and so there was delay in the process of the law. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, in summing up, said the course the case had taken made it important. Once for all. he wished to say that every man, however discredited in the past, was entitled to justice, and counsel had no right to say anything improper had been urged against Mr. Hooley. He was satisfied the jury would decide the case by the evidence. The questions put to Mr. Hooley were not matters of prejudice. The plaintiff said she sold 5,000 £1 shares to defendant at 5s. each and 25,000 at the same price. If Mr. Hooley could succeed in planting on the public shares at 10 per cent., as he was entitled to 610,000 of them it would have been a good stroke of business for him, and therefore the evidence on that matter was material. The only evidence called for plaintiff was that of Ernest Terah Hooley, and they had to ask themselves whether they could act on his evidence, against the evidence given by the witnesses on behalf of the defendant. There were two people whose evidence might have been material on the question of working capital. All they knew was that, whereas the property was under the control of Kelly or Lambert, and valued at either £35,000 or £45,000, a company was registered in May, 1902, with a capital of £1,000,000, and no less than 610,000 of the shares found their way into Mr. Hooley's control. The first thing he called their attention to was what justification was there for a property which Kelly had control of and which was valued at £35,000 being put before the public at the price of a million? That required some explanation. Mr. Hooley had a report, which found its way into the defendant's possession,with certain distinguished men's names upon it. It contained a paragraph that the purchase-price of the freehold property, mining plant, &c., was fixed by the vendor at £900,000, which had been paid to the vendor in shares, and that working capital had been found. Some explanation of that was required. Who was the vendor, and who was kind enough to transfer 610,000 shares to Mr. Burton? The defendant said that Mr. Hooley told him that the working capital had been guaranteed, and that there was £10,000 in the bank. The defendant said he never intended to invest more than £200. Mr. Hooley said £200 was paid on account of £500. It was important to see what the transfers were, for, if they had been prepared in relation to the transaction itself, they would have been conclusive. The defendant said the transfers were given him filled up, and not written in his presence. Mr. Hooley said that the defendant asked him to put £500 as consideration in each transfer. That did not confirm Mr. Hooley, nor did it confirm Mr. Booth, but left the question at large. Then came the letter. He thought it did not throw much light on the matter one way or the other. It did not look like asking for £250, half of the purchase-money. It looked like a man wanting money and asking for it. Mr. Booth said that he did not refer to the price of the shares in his reply. It was for the jury to say whether there was a contract between defendant and Mrs. Hooley to sell the shares for £500. It was odd that no application was made for the balance. Did they believe the shares were sold for £500? In that case, Mrs. Hooley was entitled to a verdict for £300; if it was a sale for £200, then defendant was entitle for a verdict on that issue. Mr. Hooley was a man of vast business experience, and there was no entry in a book or memorandum of the transaction. The question was, if it was a business transaction, why was no business entry made of it? Then came the next claim for £2,500. Mrs. Hooley's case was this, that defendant, when he came back from Canada thinking very well of the property, wanted a larger stake in the company, and bought 25,000 shares. The defendant said that they were part of a block of shares which he was to have for the purposes of reconstruction. Mr. Vesey had been called, and nothing could be said against him. Mr. Vesey said he saw Mr, Hooley, and he said there never was a suggestion of the shares' being purchased by the defendant, and that they were given for the purpose of the reconstruction scheme, to grease the wheels. If it was a real sale, why should there have been five blank transfers with a nominal consideration of 5s. on each? The jury must say whether they believed Mr. Hooley, when he saidthat the defendant promised to buy 25,000 shares at 2s., or were they shares given to the directors for the purpose of reconstruction? He must point out to them that there had been no application made to the defendant for the price. There was a serious matter in this case. It was all very well for plaintiff's counsel to say that Mr. Cawston was not to be believed. Mr. Cawston had gone into the box, and they must consider whether, having regard to the evidence given by him, Mr. Hooley was to be considered a man of honour to whom ordinary rules were applicable. The defendant had made a speech in favour of the company. Mrs. Hooley, who had a large block of shares, wanted an advance on them. The defendant refused. Undoubtedly, a few days after, Mr. Cawston came to defendant's hotel, and had 25,000 shares in his pocket, and he then and there offered defendant that if he would stop the proceedings for the liquidation of the company and settle Dr. Shillington's claim for £100 he would give him 25,000 shares. That was a most dishonourable proposal, which the defendant refused. That was heard by Mr. Vesey when Mr. Cawston communicated with Mr. Hooley through the telephone in the presence of Mr. Vesey and the defendant. When Mr. Cawston said that it was no good, Hooley replied, All right. I'll settle Booth. There was one other matter, which in his long experience he was glad rarely happened in those Courts. The defendant had asked his leave to put a question, and asked Mr. Hooley whether he had not asked Mr. Cawston not to come to the Court. Mr. Hooley denied that Mr. Cawston had been called, and said that Mr. Hooley told him not to come and to stay in bed. That threw a livid light upon Mr. Hooley's conduct in this transaction. There was no explanation given of how Mr. Hooley became possessed of Mr. Bradshaw's letter which had been handed to his counsel and read. If Mr. Cawston was under the thumb of Mr. Hooley, and employed to do his dirty work, and was likely to be influenced by what he said, they had to consider whether it was possible that he was told to keep away from the trial. If they thought there was a bribe offered and an attempt made to keep the witness away, then they must draw their own conclusion as to whether Mr. Hooley was telling the truth. If the £200 was obtained by false representation, the plaintiff could not keep that, unless the defendant had waived his rights. The questions for them were:- (1) Was the plaintiff entitled to £300 alleged balance of price of 5,000 shares? - No. (2) Was plaintiff entitled to £2,500 alleged price of 25,000 shares? - No. (3) Was the defendant induced to part with £200 by untrue representation as to the supply of working capital? - Yes. (4) Did defendant by his conduct waive any representation made by Ernest Terah Hooley? - No. Upon these findings a verdict and judgment were entered for the defendant on the claim, and for £200 upon the counter-claim. At the close of the proceedings counsel on behalf of Mr. Cawston applied to the Lord Chief Justice to have certain letters produced at the trial impounded. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said he could not do that, but no doubt the plaintiff's solicitors would give an undertaking to produce them if they were required. Mr. KISCH (for the plaintiff). - Certainly, the plaintiff's solicitors would give that undertaking.	LND	FONS

Hampshire Chronicle	1918	From the Hampshire Chronicle of Aug 31 1918 HAMPSHIRES CLEAR A WOOD. HOW CAPT. CAUSTON WAS KILLED. Below will be found an extract from a letter received by Mrs. Tuffinn, of King's Somborne, from her husband. in which a vivid picture is given of the work of the Hampshire Regiment in clearing a wood. Allusion is also made to the death of Capt. J. P. Causton, who fell while leading his men. In the centre of the letter the writer says :-- Two of our Companies went over early in the morning, but somehow we didn't get connected up. We had to take a wood, and to do this we had to cross the canal. Well, our platoon (No. 9) had to go over and take the wood right up through the centre; it was the most awful thing to do in the morning daylight. Our Capt Causton took us; we crossed the canal and a field, and came to a track which led through the wood, so our Captain placed us half each side the track so that we could keep close into the wood not to be easily seen, as we did not know the German position. Neither did they know we were coming. Then all at once we heard them talking; we were within 23 or 30 yards of them before they saw us or we them. They were chattering away like as if they were making plans, but directly they saw us they put their machine-gun on us and we opened fire on them. We stopped, and Capt. Causton ordered us to lay down down to miss their bullets as they were coming at us like a hail storm. We hardly knew what to do for a bit. Then our Captain kneeled up, intending to lead us forward, saying, ' Well boys, we skall have to rush them, that's the only thing to be done.' Poor fellow had scarcely said the words when I saw him drop forward on his face and he hardly even mured word. Those were his last words. He was only about five yards from me, as he was on the right and I was second on the left, with only a track between us. None of us dared to move. They tried to drive us back but, although they had their machine-gun on us, they couldn't do it. They had killed our Captain, and we meant to drive them out. They were shot down in heaps in front of us, so they moved back, and we followed them. They tried to make another stand, but the same thing happened again and again,until we got to another track running across the wood, and they started to pepper us again with their bullets. We had no cover whatever. I got down into a bit of a hole, and lay flat as I could, and there were the bullets chipping off the wood about six inches above me. We stayed in the position until we cleared them right out of it and I thought 'Now we shall have it', and, sure enough, we were subjected to one of the heaviest bombardments we ever known. When we went into the wood there was scarcely a shell hole, but when we had finished, it was simply blown to pieces. We stuck it, but could see we should all get knoced out, so, as we had gained our objective, we seven came back. We came all back through the wood with shells bursting on every side of us. It's simply marvelous how we escaped. All I was afraid of was that the bridge over the canal would be blown up, as it was only a light one our R. E.'s threw across. When we got back to the canal and found the bridge intact, we were across it like lightning. Wasn't 1 thankful when 1 reached the other side safely. We are left without an officer agrain now. I can't say any more it know, you will see it all in the papers. We miss Capt. Causton still as we were very fond of him.	HAM	webs

Times	1924	1 January 1924 FARTHING5 CLUB'S LOSSES. WOMAN SECRETARY SENT TO PRISON. Sentence of six months' imprisonment with hard labour was passed by Mr. Hay Halkett at the Lambeth Police Court yesterday on ADA GULLIVER, 34, a printer's assistant, of Finchley-road, Kennington, who pleaded Guilty to converting to her own use moneys entrusted to her for safe custody by members of a farthing club, carried on among the employees of Sir Joseph Causton and Sons, printers, of Clapham-road. Mr. M. Hellier, who prosecuted, said the prisoner was appointed secretary and treasurer of the club. She was a forewoman, earning £3 15s. a week, and was married. She arranged with the two auditors to have the share-out on December 19, and at that date there should have been £595 7s. lOd. in the prisoner's possession. As a matter of fact, she only had £198 15s., so that there was a deficiency of over £386. When arrested she said she had lost the money at horse-racing. The members of the club lost nearly £1 per share. Detective-sergeant Campion stated that when told the charge, the prisoner replied, I have had the money and spent it. I will do my best to pay it back. I have lost most of it at horse-racing. I had arranged for a loan of £250, but my father-in-law, who was to be one of the sureties, died, and the loan was delayed. Otherwise they would all have been paid. I heard they were all going to tear me up, so I left my place and went to live with a friend. This is the fifth year I have been secretary and treasurer of the club, and there has never been any trouble previously. I have always kept the money at home. Addressing the Magistrate, the prisoner said she was not a forewoman, but simply one of the hands, and her wages were £3 10s. a week. In sentencing the prisoner as stated, Mr. HAY HALKETT said this was one of the worst cases he had known for a long period, and he wished he could give her a severer sentence.	LND	FONS	1 Jan 1924

Times	1927	23 April 1927 Obituary. SIR JOHN CAWSTON. THE MINT DURING THE WAR. We regret to announce that Sir John Westerman Cawston, K. C. B., late Deputy Master of the Royal Mint, died at his house, Gulpher, Felixstowe, on Thursday [21 April 1927]. He had been seriously ill for some weeks. Sir John Cawston was born in 1859, the elder son of the Rev. John Cawston, D. D., R. N., Chaplain of the Fleet and Honorary Chaplain to Queen Victoria. He gained a scholarship at Clifton College, where he became head of the school, captain of the football, and played in the cricket eleven. From there he obtained an open scholarship at New College, Oxford, and took a First in Classical Moderations and a Second in the Final Classical Schools. In 1883, taking a high place in the Class 1. examination for the Civil Service, he was appointed to the War Office, and in 1889 was transferred to the Treasury, where, after serving for some years as private secretary to the Parliamentary Secretary, he became a Principal Clerk (now graded as Assistant Secretary) in 1904. In 1911 he was appointed Assistant Comptroller and Auditor of the Exchequer, at the Audit Office, was gazetted a C. B. in 1912, and in 1917 was made Deputy Master of the Royal Mint, which was struck, a few days after his arrival there, by a German bomb during a daylight aeroplane raid and suffered heavy and fatal casualties. The work of the Mint at that time, and until his retirement in 1921 on account of failing health, was exceptionally heavy. Munitions were being made there during the war, and there was a continuous demand for more and more subsidiary coinage. Difficulties in the supply and allocation of bullion had to be met; a temporary gold mint, under the Royal Mint, had to be set up in Bombay; a Whitley Council, representing the many grades and various crafts employed in the Royal Mint, was constituted, provision had to be made for the production of millions of war medals; and, finally, arrangements and experiments for carrying out the decision of the Government to replace the existing silver coinage by one of lower fineness necessitated a large amount of additional labour, inquiry, and machinery. In the course of his career Sir John, who was promoted to K. C. B. in 1919, two years before his retirement, had represented the Treasury on many and various committees, including one, of which he was chairman, on leases in the British Concessions in China, which took him to that country in 1913. He was for some years one of the representatives of the Home Country on the Pacific Cable Board, and, towards the end of his service, a member of the Royal Commission on Decimal Coinage, under the chairmanship of the late Lord Emmott. He leaves a widow, daughter of the late Rev. John Montague, of Wimbish, Essex, and had two daughters, one unmarried and the other the widow of Lieutenant-Commander A. E. Whitehouse, R. N., commander of the submarine L10, which, after sinking a German destroyer in the North Sea a few weeks before the end of the war, was itself sunk by the enemy with all hands.

Times	1930	8 January 1930 ALLEGED BLACKMAIL BY TELEPHONE EVIDENCE OF DETECTIVE At the Marylebone Police-court yesterday, before Mr. Hay Halkett, the hearing was resumed on the charge against GEORGE CAWSTON, 50, an osteopath, of Marylebone-road, of demanding £800 with menaces from Mrs. X, a widow living in London. By permission of the magistrate Mrs. X's name was not disclosed. Mrs. X, the proprietress of a boarding-house, has given evidence that on November 23 a strange man's voice asked her over the telephone if she was Mrs. ————, mentioning her name. He said it had come to his knowledge that she had banking accounts numbers one and two at the Willesden Green branch of the National and Provincial Bank, and that she had not disclosed her full returns to the Inland Revenue. Unless she was prepared to settle with him he would lodge information with the Swiss Cottage authorities. She immediately rang up her brother, and, as a result, Detectives Smith and Burney called. Two days later the man rang up again, gave the name of Farr, said he was acting for someone else, and that it could be settled for a sum of £800. She promised to ask her bank manager how payments could be arranged. On November 27, when the man rang up again, the two detectives were present and listened in to the conversation on the telephone. Mrs. X's son, a company director, said in evidence yesterday that on November 23 his mother telephoned to him, and he went to see her. The next day he met Detectives Smith and Burney there. On December 3 he was rung up on the telephone at his office in the City by a man giving the name of Ernest Powell. The man said: You probably know what I am telephoning you about. He replied that he had £100 for him which he had received from his mother. The witness asked him how he would like the money, and Cawston replied that 10 £10 notes would do. The same afternoon the witness saw Detectives Smith and Burney, and a package was prepared on the top of which he (the witness) sketched a 10 on the corner. The package was handed to a messenger boy. He was acting on the instructions of the police in this matter throughout. Detective Claude Smith gave evidence of listening in to a telephone conversation at Mrs. X's house on December 27. Mrs. X was ill in bed and conducted the conversation on the telephone by her bedside, while the witness and his colleague, Detective Burney, listened in on an extension in a sitting-room below. Notes of the conversation were made by Detective Burney. The man said, What can you pay to-day? Mrs. X said she might make it £50, but asked where she was to send it. The man said, You are to authorize payment to Ernest Powell of a draft for £50 on the National and Provincial Bank. I will draw £50 to-day and arrange for another amount to be due in a month's time. It was after the conversation that the witness communicated with Mrs. X's son in the City and assisted to prepare the dummy packet of notes, which was handed to the prisoner at the District Messenger office. After leaving the office in the City of Mrs. X's son, the witness said that he went to the District Messenger office in Queen Victoria street. The prisoner entered the office and asked if he had anything for him. He was handed a packet, which he signed for. He then attempted to leave the office, but the witness stopped him, explained who he was, and asked if he was Ernest Powell. The accused man said he was. The witness said that he would arrest him for demanding £800 with menaces from Mrs. X. The accused man later gave the name of George Cawston, osteopath, of Marylebone-road. The case was adjourned.

C.), GEORGE CAWSTON, 50, described as an osteopath, on bail, was indicted for demanding £800 from a woman, who was called Mrs. S., with menaces, with intent to steal the money. The defendant pleaded Not Guilty. Mr. Laurence Vine and Mr. Leonard Moules prosecuted; Mr. Francis Peregrine appeared for the defence. In opening the case for the prosecution, Mr. VINE said the whole of the demands were made on the telephone, and it would be for the jury to say when they had heard the evidence whether they thought that the defendant was the man who made the demands. The prosecutrix was the proprietress of a boarding-house, and carried on a substantial business. He asked to be allowed to refer to her as Mrs. S. Mr. PEREGRINE, in reply to the RECORDER, said he had no objection to make to that request, and the Recorder assented to the request. Mr. VINE, continuing, said that a man who, it was alleged, was the defendant, spoke to Mrs. S. on the telephone while she was in bed with influenza, stated that it had come to his knowledge that she had not disclosed her full returns to the Inland Revenue, and threatened, unless she was prepared to settle with him, to lodge information with the authorities. Counsel said the suggestion was entirely without foundation. Mrs. S. took steps to have the man caught, and at the earliest moment, after the conversation on the telephone had finished, she telephoned to a relative. On November 25 there was another telephone conversation with Mrs. S., and the voice asked for £800 to square the matter up. When arrested the defendant said, I was doing it for someone else. Later he said, I only did this because a woman drove me to it. Mrs. S. gave evidence. In reply to Mr. PEREGRINE, she said the affair had given her a terrible shock. The first mention of money came from herself when she asked on the telephone, What is it you want - money? and the voice replied, Yes, and a considerable sum. She had no idea who the someone else was the man said he was acting for. The trial was concluded yesterday, when the jury found the defendant Guilty,and he was sentenced to three years' penal servitude.	LND	FONS	17 Jan 1930

Clacton Graphic	1950	Glimpses of the Past -9. The Causton Family In these days anyone who wears long trousers expects to be addressed as Esquire, but in former times this was a much cherished title conferred on certain junior members of the aristocracy. Even the suffix Gent, raised one to the status of the landed gentry, far above the common multitude. In the year 1664, certain heralds the forbears of Burke and Debrett, came to the village of Great Clacton to record the names of its more distinguished inhabitants, and there found Philip Causton Gent who stated that his grandfather had likewise lived there and that there were three young Caustons to carry on the family name. And carried on it was, right down to our own day. Largest in Clacton The Caustons owed their fame to the possession of Burr's Farm, one of the few freehold estates in Clacton. How far back their association with this place go I have been unable to determine, but the earliest record to hand is the burial in 1570 of Joan, the wife of Philip Causton, while the following year died John, the son of Thomas. It seems evident, therefore ; that they were here a generation or two before Thomas Causton, the first in the herald's family tree, married Bridget Christmas about 1590. Their only son, Philip (1595- 1659), was father of the said Philip who greeted the heralds. THE THREE CHIMNEYS TEA ROOMS 23 St. Johns Road Gt. Clacton. NOW OPEN Why not pay us a visit for Sunday Afternoon Tea English Cream Tea from 75p Open 7 days a week, 9-6pm For a choice selection of hot snacks, scones, gateaux and cream cakes This month sees new owners of. the house in the village of Gt Clacton known as The Three Chimneys. The house is the same house built by Ambrose Browne in 1674, the front being an improvement by P. B. Dennis in 1847. Ambrose Browne was a yeoman farmer baptised at Gt Clacton in 1609. He later lived and farmed at Gt Clacton Hall, he owned the estate called Kings. He was very friendly with the influential Field family who were associated with the manorial estates.!n March 1679 he made a will in which he left to his wife his house, land and appurtenances of about 100 acres in Much Clackton; it appears therefore that about 1674 he decided to relinquish the tenancy of Gt Clacton Hall and build a smaller house on his farm, calling it The Three Chimneys. Ambrose Browne died in May 1679 and his wife Anne the following month. A prominent local family, the Caustons, who also owned Burrs farm took over The Three Chimneys. In 1692 Phillip Causton mortgaged 'The Three Chimneys with outbuildings, garden and about 90 acres to /Thomas Langley for £126. The house was further mortgaged in 1696, 1698 and 1700 when it was mortgaged to Capt. John Phillipson for £424. He was the same captain, presumably, who had two brushes with privateers and boarded one, took it as a prize to Harwich (Once Upon a Tide by Henry Benham 1955). The house then had a succession of owners. In 1803 a George Sadler was in occupation paying I £100 per annum rent. In 1810 the lease was renewed and the rent increased to £166. Times were hard, and in April 1815 there was a sale of furniture for the benefit of creditors. There is little doubt that the following set out in the announcement were the contents in the year of Waterloo. Four post and other bedsteads with hangings, goose feather beds and bedding, Pembroke and other tables, trivets, washing copper, coal scuttle, tea urns and silver tea and table spoons. The sale seems to have been deferred until October and then Sadler must have recovered for he continued in residence. He died in July 1826 aged 83 and his second wife (nee Balls) died in July 1833 aged 85; he had at least 16 children by his two wives and descendants have included Rowland Rees J.P., one time mayor of Dover; Dame Ivy Compton Bur-nett, the novelist; Dr Margery Blackie, physician to the present Queen. Other occupiers have been J. C. L. Dennis, James Popham, Robert Page, E. S. Crow, J. B. Grant, Mrs Hughes, W. Reynolds, Mrs North. Mrs Golds-worthy, Bernard French, L. Almond and D. Green. In March 1966 was offered for sale The fine old period residence Three Chimneys. The garden was further reduced in 1969 for the extension of Rampling Ave. The new owners, Mr and Mrs Spring-all and their two children, have moved from Ilford, Essex having spent 20 years with the Berger Paint Group. Mr Springall was made redandant. They immediately fell in love with the house and the village and have decided to open up part of the house as an old English tea rooms in keeping with the character of the house, and are looking forward to meeting new friends from the local area. His house, the predecessor of the present Burr's Farm, was the largest in Clacton in 1662, when it possessed eight hearths — a fair number for those days. This younger Philip, who was twice married, witnessed several local wills, proof of the respect in which he was held. By his own will he left 40s. to the poor of the parish, while Burr's Farm went to his elder son, Philip, and Pearls Farm (now Treasure Holt) and the Stey Lands ( off Sladburys-lane). as well as a farm at Bradwell, went to the younger son, John. He also refers to a young grandson, Robert Smith, in all probability an ancestor of the Smith family, who still farm in Clacton. Three Chimneys Farm. Philip III (1651-1715) duly succeeded to Burr's in 1679 and he subsequently acquired Three Chimneys Farm, still to be seen in Great Clacton Street. These passed to his only child, Mary Phythian, and so descended to the Dennises. His brother, John of Pearls, carried on the line, and must I have been at Jay Wick about 1700, when there was a dispute over the rent, but he did not stay there long. Other small estates, were added during the century, but the family continued to reside at Pearls, though only as tenants. John died about 1722, and was followed by his son and grandson. The latter, Thomas Causton (1733-1803), left an only son. Thomas (1770-1817), during whose time the lease of Pearls Farm appears to have expired, and he went to live in a small cottage in Little Clacton Road. The latter's elder son, William (1803-40), had a place in Old Road, and the younger John (1806-92), lived in a thatched cottage adjoining the Church Path in Burr's Road. He was the father of Thomas who died in 1935, after 65 years married life, and whose widow died in 1941, aged 90. An interesting record of a family's connection with Clacton for something like four hundred years.	ESS		Oct 1950

Clacton Graphic	1951	Glimpses of the Past - 24. The Story of Burrsville Park by Kenneth Walker. BURRSYILLE Park occupies part of the land of the ancient Burrs Farm which was cultivated in small estates from early times. Burrs-road, on which the farmhouse stands, was originally the Great Holland Road from Clacton. The Burrs were a Tendring Hundred family, and as far back as 1319 Juliana Burr lived at Great Clacton. In the 17th Century they were at Little Clacton and f armed Woodrows on the parrish boundary. There is a Burrs Farm at Prating. The Caustons, of whom I have already written, are the earliest known owners of Burrs Farm, and it may have been in their possession as long ago as 1570. Philip Causton's house in 1662 had eight hearths, and was the largest I residence in Clacton. At his death in 1679 he left Burres in Much Clackton to his eldest son, Philip (1651-1715), who was succeeded there by I his only child, Mary, who married firstly Gibson Launder, of St. Osyth, and secondly Thomas Phythian SURVIVING CHILD Mary's only surviving child, Elizabeth Launder, married William Dennis, of Tendring and the farm descended to their son, Philip, and grandson, Philip Pigott, who left his property equally between his three children, one of whom was a noted histologist. Burrs remained with the family until purchased by Mr E. J. Gilders in 1899. Its lands then extended below Sladburys Lane, as far as Pickers Ditch behind Hollaand on Sea. The lands beyond the railway were alienated, however, and the remainder came eventually to Mr. Renshaw in 1931, and he built Burrsville Park Estate. It is difficult to identify all the small freehold and copyhold estates of which Burrs Farm was originally composed, and which were united under Thomas Phythian. They were known as Northlands (north of Gorse Lane), Dreaches nearby, Gateland, Popes (Meadow Close), Swains, Titleys, Vin\|cents and Clarkes. Some of them had belonged in the 17th Century to the Thoroughgood family who gave their name to Thoroughgood House. Collected together, they gave to Burrs an area of over 250 acres, which extended a mile each way, and was the second largest farm in Clacton. The lands are shown on a map prepared for William Dennis in 1742, now at the Record Office, Chelmsford. GREAT METHODIST The old farmhouse, standing forlornly among modern villas, appears to be 18th Century, and with its central Chimney stack has certain points of similarity to Great Clacton Hall; The eastern end seems to be a later addition. After the Caustons the place was occupied by William Angier, and then successively by Thomas Fisher, Samuel and Henry Draper, William Sparling, Thomas Cross, Thomas Kemball, Lionel Jessop, S. C. Posford and P. J. Harris. The last-named was a great Methodist, and it was at Burrs Farm on September 28th, 1875 that the first meeting of the Clacton Wesleyan Circuit was held. Amoung occupiers since his time have been Messrs. T Waters, A. Wythe, A. Brett and E Tennant. Gorse Lane was originally Gore Lane. It does not. However record some bloody battle, but is named after one of the Burrs estates, and the word gore, quite common in Essex, means a wedge-shaped piece of land. Where Gorse Lane meets Burrs Road is a spot once called Beggars Oak but the name seems now forgotten. Perhaps some vagrant was hanged from its branches. There are several oaks in the neighbourhood but the original tree has long since disappeared.	ESS		2 March 1951

He took over as managing director of the Malt Division from 1947 to 1966, and when Pauls and Whites was formed in 1963, he was appointed to the board.

Times	1996	Times THURSDAY JULY 11 1996 Six wickets in six balls, just like great-grandad By ROBIN YOUNG A YOUNG cricketer has emulated a feat performed by his great-grandfather 74 years ago, taking six wickets with six successive balls — the elusive double hat-trick. However, Nicholas Causton, a 14-year-old medium pacer who employs a bit of spin, was rather more thrilled that he managed to score four runs not out. Although I get plenty of wickets, I don't usually make many runs, he said yesterday. His father, John, an accountant in Poringland, Norfolk, said: I don't think Nick is old enough to realise quite what an achievement it is. I have never heard of anybody making a double hat-trick before except his great-grand-father. I have told him he will probably never see such a thing again in his lifetime. The boy achieved the feat in a match between his village team, Brooke,. and their rivals, Loddon. His great-grandfather, Sidney George Causton, made his double hat-trick in 1922, playing for the Norfolk village of Mundford. The ball he was playing with was kept as a family memento, with a shield mounted on it bearing his initials and details of the achievement. Nicholas, a pupil at Framingham Earl County High School who plays for the under-14s, said: I would like to have the ball I was using to keep like my great-grandad's, but we were playing away so it was Loddon's ball. I am hoping they will let me have it. The demon bowler said he had never even taken two wickets with successive balls before. It was pretty funny how people kept getting out. Three were caught in the outfield, one by the wicket keeper, and I clean-bowled two. But I must have got over-excited because my next ball was a wide. Nicholas ended his four-over stint with seven wickets for 19 runs, having had one batsman stumped before the six wickets in the last four balls of his third over and the first two of his fourth. Brooke went on to win. Mr Causton said: We are a sporting family, but Nick likes to do a bit of everything. He has won four trophies at Brooke tennis club. He loves football and likes golf. A double hat-trick has never been achieved in first-class cricket. Christopher Lane, spokesman for Wisden, said records were not kept for non-first-class cricket. The nearest achievement to six wickets in six balls was by Pat Pocock of Surrey, who set the world record in first-class cricket of seven wickets in 11 balls, against Sussex in 1972. Pocock took five wickets in six balls and five balls later he took another two. [photographs of Nicholas Causton and Sidney George Causton]	NFK
