FOOD FOR ANIMALS
$ EXCESS QUANTITIES OBTAINED IN BRITAIN J MEN OF RANK FINED. STATED TO HAVE ERRED IN IGNORANCE. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright.) (Received This Day, 1.5 p.m.) LONDON, August 28. The Paymaster-General and Minister of Reconstruction (Sir W. Jowitt). Lord Burghley, who is controller of American supplies in the Ministry of Aircraft Production, Sir George Courthope, and Admiral Sir Aubrey Smith, who is a former aide-de-camp to his Majesty, are among fifteen defendants summonsed in a special court at Canterbury on a charge of obtaining rationed foodstuffs for animals in excess of the authorised quantity. The prosecutor said he had come to the conclusion that the defendants neither knew nor realised that they were receiving grain in excess of coupon value. Sir W. Jowitt’s farm, for instance, was being conducted by a manager. Similar circumstances applied to the other defendants. Sir W. Jowitt was fined £l5, Lord Burghley £l, Sir G. Courthope £2, and Sir A. Smith, 10s.
