MR. ASQUITH AND THE BILLING CASE
J3X-PUEMII3R CHEERED AT OXFORD. (Eec. June 10, 11.5 p.m.) London, Juno 0. Mr. Asquith received an ovation at Oxford, on Saturday, where he delivered the Romanes Lecture on "Seme Aspects of the Victorian Age." Lord Curzon, who presided, evoked a storm of enthusiasm by declaring that among the aspects of the past Victorian age there was none which tho University and evory section of tho public regarded with such abhorrence and disgust as the gross and gratuitous defamation of the character of our public men. Viscount Selbourne, in a speech, referred to the Billing trial, and asked his audience whether, even supposing that the alleged Black Book existed, we were going to the German Government for that compilation to find the truth about English men'and English women. He added that his party repudiated as an abominable lio the suggestion that Jlr. Asquith's life was not clean and noble, or that he was not a loyal and devoted servant of his King and country.—Aus.N.Z. Cubic Assn.
