"A FOIL LIE!"

Received 2, 11.10 p.m. London, July 2.

In the House of Lords, Lord Saye and Sele repudiated the idea that an illustrious ancestry should debar a man from earning an honest living, it. was a foul lie to say lie had tempted Wlntttker. He had merely asked one ollicer, who was a satislied customer of his firm, to use his inllucnee with another officer. The firm only paid Whitaker his out-of-pocket expenses.

Lord Crewe accepted this version, and stated that iie did not propose to take further action.
