THE CLAYTON CASE.

MEDALS FOR THE MILITANTS. By Telegraph.—Prean Association.—Copyright, (Received Mav 14. 10 a.m.) LONDON, May 13.

The doctor stated that an operation was-necessary on, Mrs Drummond, who was recently removed from Court unconscious, at the doctor's request. The address of the nursing home to which Mis Drummond ; was taken has. been withheld, owing to a fear of the public boycotting it. Mrs Drummond's bail lias hcen extended for two months.

Mrs Strange, giving evidence in the case against Clayton and others, stated that after the destruction of her Kew and other tea rooms she apppealed to Miss Kerr, one of the defendants, to discontinue the outrages, the latter refused to promise. A medal-maker stated in evidence that he had been supplying the Women's Union with medals and brooches inscribed " For valour: Fed by force during hunger strike." Some of the medals cost £l. "Votes for Women" had been scratched on a draper's windows at Norwich, and it cost £SOO to replace them. "THE SUFFRAGETTE." The Labour Press Agency states that though Mr Ramsay Mac Donald does not favour militancy, he will print "The Suffragette," because the Government will shrink from dealing with prominent opponents. If he is arrested, Mr Keir Hardie will replace him, and so on, until either the Government is carried or the supply of martyrs has run out.
