J. North and J. K. Aicher, were replied to' by Mr R. Darroch, at the drawing of the Cancer Campaign Art Union on in day evening. Mi Darroch state.! that the deputation said that the A"t

nioii was not been run by doctors or by the Cancer Campaign Commitlee, but. by a group of speculators who weie acting in their own interests. Mr Darroch said that this statement was not only unfair, but incorrect. The organisers and advertising agents were appointed by the Cancer Campaign Committee. After tho Committee had been advised by the Government that a permit would be granted, four eminent medical men, Sir Lindo Ferguson, Dr J. S. Elliott, Dr 11. T. D. Acland and Dt Kenneth MacKenzie accepted the position of Trustees, and the Cancer Campaign Committee supervised tlm conduct of the Art Union. The two reverend gentlemen had made an unwarranted reflection upon all of those

connected with the Cancer Campaign Art Union ‘'which I think,” he said, “was most regrettable.” IRISH SWEEP LITIGATION JUDGE CRITICISES WITNESSES [BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.) LONDON, November 6. The disposition of the balance of the Irish Sweep first prize still remains in doubt. Mr. Justice Meredith who presided, said that the number of the winning ticket had been inserted after the draw in a document which Scala and others drew up. Nevertheless, there had been a verbal agreement to include an additional ticket in the pool. He adjourned the case for a fortnight to enable further legal arguments to be made including that, as to whether Scala, had allocated the particular winning ticket to the pool before he decided the destiny of No. 88436. Mi-. Justice Meredith commented on the conflict of evidence as being almost unprecedented. It was impossible to accept entirely either side’s version. He said: “1 would like to adapt Lord Byron’s line, beginning: "They were of all tongues and creeds” inserting two lines, and making the pasage conclude: — “Some were sellers, some were buyers — Nearly all were priceless liars.” "Yet through the wide world you might search. Nor find a motlier crew, nor a blither!" "Nevertheless,” His Honor said, “1 have not had to deal with unmitigated ruffians, perjuring themselves for the sake of gain. On the contrary. I have received an unconquerable impression that both sides believe that justice rests with them. . He notes the case of Mrs. Apicella, who was holding her rosary beads while giving her evidence, carefully placing the cross on the Testament, while taking the oath. “She has been storming Heaven with her prayers for the success of the case. She has trusted that her prayers will he answered. Whether or not she perjured herself, I do not know.”
