Viscount Cranley, aged 20, an officer in the Life Guards, was fined £5 and ordered to pay 16s lOd costs by Windsor magistrates yesterday when summoned for driving a car without due care and attention on the morning of April 11. Chief Constable Carter said that Viscount Cranley was returning from London to Windsor Cavalry Barracks when his car crashed into a horsedrawn milk float. The cart was wrecked, bottles of milk were broken, two 10-gallon churns were thrown into the road, and 150 dozen eggs smashed. The total damage done was £72.
Mi-. W. B. Manley, for the defence, said that Lord Cranley frankly admitted that at the moment of the accident he must have dozed off. He gave his name to the man in charge oJ the carl and then walked to the barracks, changed his uniform, and was on parade when the police arrived.
The coloured preacher was explaining the fury of hell to his congregation in a steel mill town. "You all is seen molten iron running out from a furnace, ain't you?" The congregation said it had. "Well, dey use dat stuff for ice cream in de place what I's talking about."
