They journeyed to London together, and he eventually deserted her at Liverpool - street Railway Station When she got back to her lodgings she discovered that her box nad bpen broken open, and ber property stolen. On January 10, four days after he married Mary Beale, the prisoner married Marion Jennings, a housemaid, at Sfc James's Oherch, Gheltenb&m, he aseuia log the name of Frederick Hall. He lived with this young woman off and on np to the time of his arrfsfc. On Sep tember 27 last the prisoner married Agnes Lane, a domestic servant,, at tie .Registry Cffi.ce, Kincrston-on Thames, assuming the name of Reginald Wilson; He cruelly deserted her at October 2at Dover. On October 18 the prisoner contracted another mar riage with Mary Ann Dormer, & laur dresa, at the Registry Office, Reading, assuming the name of Harry Wilson He deserted her in London on Novem ber 5. There was ample evidence to convict the prisoner of bigamy over and over again. This was in no snse a fishing inquiry, but was promoted in the interest of justice. He hop d that the Press'of the country would circu late the case, as he was not certain that the prorcation even now were fully awpro of the extent of the prisoners faig^moua contract. Th-y had reason to think there were further marriages between him and other girls. i Mary Ann Dormer, a laundress, said the answered a matrimonial advertise ment in Srpfember ÜbK The prisoner then corresponded with her in the name of Wilson, from 6, Hertslett road, Seven Sisters-road. He wrote as follows :— «Dear Miss Dormer,—Thanks very much for your letter. I should be very pleased to meet you. I musfc tell you j I wish to get married at once. The reason is that I am a cabinet maker, and my firm are going to make me a | foreman, on the condition that 1 get married directly.

I can assure you if we agreed to each other, I would do my utmost to make yoar life a happy one, for my sole aim in life ia to be happy Will you let me know by return post what you think, to that I could to meet you — Yours truly, Reg. Wilson.' She finally met him, and on October 18 she went through the form of mar riage with him. On November 5 she was riding with the prisoner in a cab j In Pentonville road, when he stopped the vehicle, and sent her to buy him lome cigarettes. She started on the errand, but turned back with a view to asking the prisoner to make the purchase himself, but be had disap peared.

Chaff Catting Case

Ab the lMt> Bitting of the local B.M. Court we briefly reported ft civil action of Rußsdl V Burgess, and a eeuater claim, in whioh the decision was given in favour praotically of plaintiff. The partioulara were as follows: L-Jas Russell, driver of chaff-ctjtbing machine, sued John Burgess, proprietor of •atnsi, for balance of wagea, £19 Us Bd, whilst the counter e^aim by Burgess of £24 9a was a set-off through damage to chaff, breakages of machinery, and lotra of certain puta of engine. Mr Wildißg, for plaintiff, briefly stated his case {The Magistrate decided to hear the counter olftim first. Mr Watson opened defendant a case for the counter claim, and ca'led Morltz Friedlander, secreta-ry of Frled lander Bros, Ltd, who stated he had purohaiaed chaff from Harrison at 44s per ton, and on receipt of same fouad it badly cat and crushed. They eventually agreed to taka it over at 40s, delivered at Aehbur 1 ton, or £3 29< 3d in total lees than original oontraofc. He admitted having no practical export experience of chaff cutting. The maim fault waa thab the damage to chaff wa» due to extreme crushing John Burgess, called by Mr Watsoo, itated the knives of the chaff cut-er had not been sharp, which accounted for the condition of the ohaff. On taking charge of the engine there wsre twelve ahoos, end eigh when the maohina returned, two of which hid &iooe com© back. Owing to the knives being overground tha damage had occurred to the flj-wheeli Russell bad worked six months for Ibim and ho had found r-o idulb with him antll the fly wheel and Knives were broken Kid other damage done. Oa complaining to ftuesell, told him to take another machine and be more o&ref ul. He also complained ab the time the damage to the chaff was reported by Harrison. The chaff wan dry and dnaty, caused, he declared, by blunt knives, combined with the dryness of the Crop cat To Mr Watson—The damage to the first machine was caused through excessive driv ing, and to the second instance by Russell leaving the wheel loose. Geo- Harrison, farmer, May field, gave evidence, bearing aub that of Mr Fried lander, wibh reepecb to quantity and lobb, and further implied the work was done rather faob. Had concluded! the oheff wan damaged by being in some instances too much broken op, and was not properly cut, Bad was eluaty. To Mr Wilding—Had however, many a time, stuff rejected by merchants to his sorrow. In some of tha begs out no fault could be found* Buanell, to his mind, ap peared a competent man.

certain extent. If % spring broke loose from a reaper and binder and got amongst the straw whilst in the ohoffcuttor, it would break the knives JC Christ ensen, employed by Burgess, aaid RaeacU'e machine itself was a good one. He stated that the damage was done to the machine when he took over the oharge of it. The machine had been set; to go too fa*t« Mr Wilding called hia client, Russell, who e'ateil he was a certificated driver, and had been specially requested by Burgess to go with Ihb employ. Burgess had frequently in peeled the work done on the various Farms. Had ultimately left him because he go a better job, and on telling Burgess he aaf mcd annoyed at his leaving, and at Bar gees' s special rrq.est aud pressing him he remained to finish the tun, and payment for balance of his woik w;sto be send to his father. Could not account for damage to knives and wheel, when the bre&kago occurred the engine was going Blow. Had in one instance found in the machine a por tion of a steel spring from a binder, and in another instance a foreign body had betn found in the crop. la respeci to Fftrrison'* crop a hail storm had affected the straw making ib dry and nurd. Harrison first wanted 26 bags to the ton, but this pressure wbs too much, and it was made to run 28 to the ton, although this waa too much. Only admitted having had one accident) to the engine To Hia Worship—He would only admit that two shoes were missing, bat he had at the time told Burgees the farms at which they were 10 bo frund Rush, the feeder and sewer 01" the machine, stated where the shoes were—in all four a hoes could be obtained if only enquired for His Worship said the missing shoes should be returned and Russell agreed to find them After consideration, tha Magistrate gave judgment for the origna! claim £19 Os 8d and costs.

The Hessian Fly.

The Agricultural Reporter of the Timaru Herald says:—l he season, taken as the whole, has not been favo urable for wheat, owing to the very wet spring and very warm weather immediately afterwards, *yhich had the effect of prematurely checking it from maturing properly. Another disturb r ing element, and a moat serious one for the grower, is the Heßsian fly. '1 here is no denying that it is to be found in iDoafc parts of the district, Farmers should be careful where fchey draw their seed wheat from, and be sura that the district where it is obtained is free of the Hessian fly as it is very widely believed that it was introduced here in imported seed. The Agricultural Department have been importing var ious kinds of wheat for the use of farmers, and no doubt the Department takes the neceisary precaution to as certain that the seed is not Infected. Remedial measures have been tried for the eradication of this pest, but without avail. Burning the stubble has beon tried, and other devices, but the only successful means to adopt is a total cessation of wheat cropping on land infected for a season or two. Bar ley is attacked even in a worse form than wheat, whilst oats are immune. If there is one variety of wheat which is less likely than others to be attacked by the fly it is red chaff, and it is a more singular fact that seeing that the district is infected so generally very little red chaff wheat was met with during our tcur of observation. It is to be regretted thaC such a grand yield ing winter wheat, and one thafe is superior to all others in withstanding ravages of the fly, should be neglected. The greater bulk of the wheat growing this season is Jluscan, It would be almost impossible to gain anything Uke an accurate estimate of what will be the average yields for the coming season. It will depend on the elements and the Hessian fly, because from now until the wheat is harvested the damage done by this insect will be most severe; especially if we get strong winds from any quarter to throw down the straws weakened by the grubs, The small birds too are making great inroads upon the earlier crops, and it is impossible to estimate what amount of loss they will cause. One gratify ing fact ia the absence of rust among the wheat, but against this must be set a prevalence of black head among oate, a result of neglect to pickle the seed.
