A GLITTERTNG WEDDING. LONDON, April 12. No bride of noble birth was ever the heroine of a more glittering wedding than Peggy Thomas, daughter of J .H. Thomas, who- married Reginald Harris at the C'itv Temple. The wedding was followed by a reception at the Hotel Metropole. Mr Baldwin, Air Lloyd George, Lady Astor, Countess Asquith attending. Thousands of the public outside necessitated police intervention to enable top-hatted men and fashionable women to struggle through the crowds into the church. Mr Thomas was resplendent in a frock coat and top hat. Replying to Mr Henderson’s congratulations at the reception, lie said: “I’ll be amused to-morrow to find myself photographed in the capitalistic press and accused of supporting capitalism as portrayed by the Hotel Metropole. I’m trying to do the right thing and disregard class hatred. Brains are not monopolised by one class. I respect them from whatever class they come.” APPEAL DISMISSED. LONDON, April 13. The appeal by William Knightson (cabled on April 2nd.) was again dismissed. Fresh evidence was confined to the 16-year old sister’s statement -to flie effect that their father came from their mother’s room and not their brother’s. Lord Hewart dismissed her. “We are satisfied that the girl’s amended story is untrue, and also that she knows it is untrue. We’ve had enough of this.”
