REMARKABLE REVELATIONS IN COURT.

In the Oourt of Qaeen'a Bench, Lon don, recently, evidence was led in an action brought by Mr Twrnbull, a •news Investigator, iomaprly oi th« Daily Mail, against Mr Hawkesley, solicitor to the Chartered South Afric* Oompaoy, for damages for alleged libel. The alleged libel was contained ia a communication by Mr Hawkesley to the Colonial Office, stating; that certain letters bad been stolen from his office by a confidential clerk %t] the instiga tion of Mr Turnball, afc one time on the staff of the Daily Mail bat subsequently dismissed without notice. It; also said that a year later the clerk at the in stance of plaintiff, sent the letters to Dr Ol»rk, for payment. For the defence justification was pleaded. Mr Tnrnbull alleged that the declarations in the letter were absolutely false. He admitted that he paid the clerk snrasof money on behalf of the Daily Mail for supplying information, and that be was discharged by Mr Harmsworth on defendant complaining of his conduct. Witnesa, in farther cross-examina tion by Mr Gill, retorted that counsel was so clever that he could make black seem white, whereupon his Lordship sternly interrupted, and 'warned the witnesa once for all that he was not respectful to the Court. 'You have' his Lordship added, 'been charged with bribing a confidential clerk to betray his employer—a very serious charge— and you must answer the questions' Mr Gill reading freni another docu ment—'Salary to Wallis, £1 Is, drinks and cigars to Wallis. 2a Bd.' Witness—Yes. M" Gill-—How much did the ieleas© of Jameson coat ? Witness—l think it was thirty shillings. Mr Gill—He was cheaper than the resignation. (Laughter.) Mr Gill—Why did you not part your connection with this ynuner man Wallis when you left the Daily Mail&n& went fco another employment ? Witness —Because I thought that others might desire to purchase hh information. All newspapers do it. His Lordahip—Yes, for information, but not for inciting to steal. In the course of further cross exami nation, his Lordship (addressing wit ness) said—'l told you yesterday, and I tell you today again, of what is alleged here. Is it right for you to go to a clerk and bribe him to tell you the secrets of hia employer ? Mr Gill (to witness) —You do not grasp that. (Laughter) Witness—Perfectly. Further cross-examined, witness eaid he hud offered the South African tetters to Mr Massingham, then of the Daily Chronicle, Witness denied that he had seen Mr Laboacfaere respecting the letters, Ic was not; he who inter viewed Dr Clark, hut he did soe Mr Massinghain and Mr Stead. He sent word to the latter that hia businpss wa? very urgent and very important, and something that he could only disclose to Mr Stead himself, Mr Stead con aentcd to see him, and witness told him that he could sopp^y him with docu ments of a private nature in connection with the Chartered Company,

Rp-examiiced by Mr Edmonds, witness said not a penny of the money paid to Wf.llia while witness ob'ainpd infcrmat:on from him for the Daily Mail came out of witness's pocket. It was all paid by the Daily Mail. Witness; had never incited Walhs to steal Ssttfrs from Mr Hawkslry's effice. He knew that letters w<?re sold to JPr Olark, M P., in the beginning of December 3899, bat witness himself had nothing whatever to do with the sale. Mr Hawksley, the defendant^, was called, and eairi that in 1897 he re ceived from the plaint ff what he re garded as a threatening letter. He sent it on to Mr Harmswortb, of the Daily Mail 3 who afterwards wrote to him saying that bo had dismissed the plaintiff. In the following year Turnbull wrote to witness asking him to intercede to gefc him restored to his former position on the Daily Mail etaff, and witness, having no ill feeling towards the plaintiff, wrote to Mr Harmswortb, with the result that Tarnbull was reengaged. At that tim he (witness) had no idea that Tarnbnll was in communication with his confi dential clerk. It waa absolutely un true what Turnbull had said that Walliu was authorised by witness to give the plaintiff information. The first he knew that documents had been abstracted was when Mr Stead apoke to him and told him that Buch docu ments were for sale, and that he him self had been approached. Mr Stead said he had been appointed by a man from whose description witness recog nised the plaintiff The jury Btopped the case, and a verdict and judgment were entered for the dtiendanta His Lordship mid he thoroughly agreed with !he jury. He could not imagine a worse case than a man en- j deavouring to c *rrupfc a confidential servant, and induce him to rob his master. Plaintiff fully deserved what he got, and His Lordship expressed the hope that do person would follow bis example On Mr Gili'a application, gome of the documents produced in the case were ordered to be impounded
