James Atholwood. the well-known actor who was convicted or bigamy last May at Melbourne and sentenced to six mouths' imprisonment, was to be released at the end or July. Soon after his conviction a petition largely signed was presented to the Acting Attorney-General, asking for mitigation of' the sentence on the ground that Atholwood's health was suffering, and that the Woman with whom he went through the bigamous marriage had not been wronged. This woman made representation to the same effect, and the authorities therefore decided to extend clemency. British trade in May showed a tallinc off in value as compared with the Sme month in 1807 of £14,200,089. Imports declined £8,344,418, and exports £5,85.5,671. For the first nve months of the year tbe total value ot British imports and exports was £40 521,974 less than in 1907. Imports of food, drink, and tobacco in May were £2.094,175 less than last year, aram and flour showing a decline of £946,632. Haw materials imported declined £4,585,030, .cotton accounting for £2,464,958, and wool for £363,534. The falling off in the value of cotton imports is partly due to the lower grice. The same applies to wool, beep's wool showed a decline of £287,973 in value, although 848, /011 b more was imported than in May last year. Manufactured articles decreased £1,637,624. The decline in exports is entirely clue to a decrease of £5,935,463 in manufactured goods.
