REBUFF TO HER COUNSEL. By I'elegrsph.— Pi eso Association.— Copyright. LONDON, 29th January. "Miss" Robinson, the witness m the Druce caso now under arrest on a charge of perjury arising out of her evidence in the recent sensational trial, has written a letter to Mr. Edward Kimber,- her counsel, saying that she does not wibh to see him' again. She says eho gets more sympathy and good advicei in prison that sho does from him. Mr. Kimber is at a loss to understand his client's attitude. Miss Robinson was arrested about ten days, ago, at tho instance of the Public Prosecutor, and at tho preliminary magisterial enquiry was remanded, bail being refused. Sir Charles Mathews, the prosecuting counsel, stated that Miss Robinson's evidence was a tissue of falsehoods, and that it was difficult to believe that her story had been concocted without assistance. He hoped tho enquiry would discover the source of her statements. The police alleged that Miss Itobinson was the daughter of a policeman named Webb, and that she married a butcher named Robinson. In the last cable message referring to the subject it was stated that Miss Robinson's mind was thought to be unhinged.
