FURTHER TROUBLE AND FINES. By Electric Telegraph— Copyright J Times —Sydney Sum Special Cables. London, February 12. Seven suffragettes concerned in the Campden Hill Square disturbance, appeared at the West London Court charged with obstructing the police. Evidence was given that the women carried wooden clubs. Complaint was made that the women were roughly handled, but the magistrate remarked that some women bruised easily, even when grasped affectionately. Princess Duleep Singh, supporting the defendants, declared the police were excited, and she, herself, was knocked down. Three refused to give their names, and several were fined. Suffragettes also appeared in the Bow Street Court, as the result of a protest that no mention of the suffragette cause was made in the King’s speech. They were ordered to keep die peace. * ... ■ f ?0 LIC E-INSP ECTOR ACQUITTED.
