(Received September 28, 10.15 a.m.) LONDON, September 27
The millionaire Hull shipowner Sir Walter Cockerline has been charged with making false income tax returns, involving £107,000. He has been committed for trial, despite the prosecution’s desire to withdraw the case on account of defendant’s precarious state of health and also the fact that he offered to pay £300,000 penalty in addition to the first-named amount. —Australian Press Association —United Service.
