LONDON, July 3
The Judge, summing up in Colonel Parkinson’s ease, adversely commented on the defendant’s refusal to testify, despite the fact that lie was charged with a serious fraud. The ease against him seemed substantial. It would be idle to pretend that many people did not make uiunificient donations for the purpose of obtaining titles, but eontracts for the purchase of titles were against public policy. The jury returned a verdict that Harrison lmd falsely and fraudulently promised to obtain Parkinson a title, but he was authorised to so act by the College Ambulance. They found in favour of plaintiff for £3OOO damages. Judgment was rcser\eu.
