BARONET’S POVERTY
A COMPENSATING INFLUENCE Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, April 11. (Received April 12, at noon.) The ‘ Daily Mirror ’ gives prominence to a story that Sir John Stuart Knill, who four years ago had an estate in Hertfordshire with an income of £4,000 a year, now runs a bric-a-brao stall in the Caledonian Market. Sir John Knill says: “In a good, week I have an income of £l, including a fee of 5s 8d on Sundays for sweeping the streets of Chelsea. t often go for a day without a meal, but I have'something worth more than money—the love of a woman, despite the depths to which I have fallen.” [Sir John Stuart Knill is the third baronet, and is 51 years of age. He succeeded to the title on the death of his father in 1934. In 1910 he married Edith, daughter of John Hardman Powell. He served in the European War from 1914 to 1918 in the Machine Gun Corps.]
