BOMB OUTRAGES.

AVHAT THE POLICE FOUND. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. London, February 19. In connection with the bomb outrage two hairpins have been found. It is believed the perpetrators motored to the scene in the early morning. The damage amounts to £3OO. SOMEBODY ELSE'S LOSS. London, February 19. Owing to his absence on the Continent Mr. Lloyd George had not signed the transfer, so the owner of the property is the chief loser. FURTHER DETAILS. THE SUFFRAGETTES AGAIN. London, February 19.

In connection with the explosion of a bomb at Mr. Lloyd George's unoccupied bouse at Walton-on-the-Hill, the first intimation was when the gardener heard a terrific explosion at 0 o'clock in the morning, wrecking the upper portion and driving a window 25 yards. The perpetrators entered a window about 4 o'clock. One bomb was found in a bedroom and another in a cupboard in the corridor. They comprised seven pound tins of black powder bound with a rope. The fuse was a piece of paraffined rag connected with a candle placed in parallined shavings. The bombs were, timed to explode before the workmen appeared at (UO. The explosion in the bedroom blew out the candle of the second bomb. Some paraffined paper distributed in the rooms took lire. It is understood that the perpetrators motored towards London. The chief clue is the discovery of hairpins and hatpins. The police, who were patrolling the adjoining golf links, inspected the house at midnight. The house, which was nearly finished, will require largely rebuilding . Mr. Lloyd George is on the Riviera.

Mrs. Drummond, interviewed, said, "1 think it's grand. Lloyd George will realise things are getting serious. I advocate all militancy short of taking human life."
