♦ A Sentence of Two Years. Telegraph Press Association Copyright Capetown, May 1. The trial of Princess Badziwill, charged with forging the name of the late Cecil Rhodes has concluded. Accused's Council urged that she had acted with no fraudulent intent, and nobody had been injured by her transactions. The Attorney- General stigmatised her as a blackmailer and a cruel and dangerous woman. The Chief Justice, in summing up, remarked it was not suggested in the correspondence that Mrs Scholtz had handed the prisoner the bills. A verdict of guilty on all counts was returned. The Chief Justice in passing sentence, deplored prisoners attempt to asperse an innocent woman, Mrs Scholtz, and also her bribing of the post office boy to forge. Owing to her delicate health, Princess Badziwill was committed for two years' to the house of correction. Prisoner listened to the sentence with bowed head.
