THROWN ON WORLD

Sons of Former Rich Men FINANCIAL CRASH ECHO A big financial crash in 1920 was recalled at Littlehampton, .Sussex, recently, when Bernard Russell Farrow and Stanley Clarke Farrow, garage proprietors, of Chichester Road. Littlehampton, were charged with receiving a stolen magneto, belonging to Sir Alan Cobham; the airman. It was stated that they first denied any knowledge of it, but afterward admitted it was buried in the garden. Mr. 11. S. Falconer, defending, said these men had suffered the torments of hell. Their father was one of the big.rest financiers of the day until the

crash. Brought up in luxury, they were then thrown on the world. Stanley Farrow went out to the Persian Gulf for a company, was shipwrecked, and. was for two days and nights on u rock. He afterward went through the. desert and contracted malaria and enteric. He next became a pig and sheep minder, and eventually an assistant to Mr. 11. S. Horne, but another big financial crisis threw him out into the world. The other brother was .11 when the crash came. After leaving school he worked on a farm as u pig minder, and afterward was a traveller, clerk, and lorry driver. The brothers then opened a small garage in a hut, and by hard work had developed It into a good business.

Both men in the box said they had no idea the magneto was stolen, and they were trying to shield a man who brought it to them. The Bench dismissed the case.
