Taken with tho circumstances, it showed that high speed was not an element of the accident, but there remained tho question of iimtteutiveness by the driver, who "would bo fined £3 arid oosts. ■—'Star." ' "Labour and Parliament: The Work of the .Scission," will bo tho title of nn 'address to bo delivered by Mr. P.. Frnspr, M.P., at the Alexandra Hall on Sunday •vciiin;? at 8.
