(Per Press Association—Copyright). (Received This Day, 11.25 a.m.)
LONDON, March 12. A most amusing interlude occurred to-day at the Dennistoun trial. A fashionably-dressed woman in the body of the court began scanning the principals with opera glasses. She was sternly ordered to cease or leave the court. Her glasses fell to the floor with a. clatter.
Mr Fryzer, Dennistoun’s solicitor, cross-examined, stated that Dennistoun settled £IOO,OOO on Lady Carnarvon at her marriage, the interest whereon is payable to husband or wife according to the trustees’ discretion. The sum of £BOOO bequeathed to Dennistoun by his father had been placed at the disposal of witness to meet the costs of the present case. Mr Hume Williams: Lady Carnarvon provides Dennistoun with £IOO,OOO, which, the day before the marriage, he ties up by a settlement. If olaintiff gets the verdict she could not touch that money. Witness: No.
