OVERHANGING FRUIT .
Judge Parry gave his reserved judgment , at Maidstone , on Wednesday , in a case which raised the question of the right of a man to pick and
sell fruit on branches of his neighbour's apple tree that overhung his ground . His Honour said the defendant's right to lop could not be con- tested , assuming it was done in a reasonable way . There seemed good authority , however , for the proposition that though a man might remove A nuisance , yet he could not , in general , appropri ate the materials . that caused the nuisance .

LAST SOLDIER KILLED IN FRANCE .
The War Office reminds the public that Christ- mas parcels for the troops in France and Italy which it is desired to send through the Military Forwarding Officer , Southampton Docks , should be dispatched not later than December 1 and Novem ber 20 respectively . If they are sent later , their Parcels must weigh over 11 lbs . and under 56 ibs . LIVED A HERMIT 1 , IFE AND DIED FROM WANT AND EXPOSURE .
A picturesque , but pitiable , figure is missing from Church life in Cotheridge , Worcestershire , where the Rev. Frederick Thomas Minchall , the vicar , was dying recently found neglected and from want and exposure . Mr. Minchall for 16 years had been vicar of the parish . He lived five niles way in a small church and back
cottage , and tramped to his

LANCE - CORPORAL , S. F. HOLMES .
of the Royal Engineers , who died on 27th of wounds received in action .

LANCE - CORPL . S. F. HOLMES .
At the Waterloo Rooms on November 1oth be- fore a large gathering , Mr. W. H. Clare delivered . a memorial address for the late Lance - Corporal S. F. Holmes , R.E. , who was fatally wounded and died on the battle field of France on October 27th , 1918. A large company of sympathetic gatherers indicated the high esteem in which Lance - Corporal Holmes was held , not only in the town , but also at the Waterloo Rooms . Mr. Clare gave an inter- esting and appreciative outline of Mr. Holmes ' association with the Waterloo Rooms for the past fourteen years , pointing out that he was faithful unto death in his blessed association in the Sun day School , in the preaching of the Gospel , as well as in the teaching of the Lord's people . The speaker said that just before his death he repeated the 23rd Psalm aad explained that the Psalm contained the Lord's provision , the Lord's guidance , the Lord's standard of Christian walk- ing , the Lord's protecting and preserving power , and the Lord's desire for His people , viz . , to dwell in His House for ever . His Christian work was carried into his Army life , and he left a faithful testimony behind him at Chatham Dean , where he spent twelve months of his Army life . His friends at the front testify that he did the same blessed work at the battle front . Death to the believer was to be with Christ , so expressive as we think of one whose smile will greet us no more here . Death was also likened to a voyager taking a journey to another land , and also to the symbol of Rest , for the departed one is at home with the Lord . The believer should sorrow not as those which have no hope , but to look up . The special . hymns sung were " Remember Lord , " " Our Boys , " " Safe in the Arms of Jesus " and " Oh , Weary Heart . "
The deepest sympathy is felt with Mrs. Holmes and her daughters and with Miss Amy Foster , to whom Lance - Corporal Holmes was engaged to be married .
PTE . W. PERKINS ,
nephew of Mrs. Bowen , of Bircher Common , killed in action on September 29th . He went to Canada five years ago and returned to Eng- land with the first Canadian contingent .
LIEUT . R. A. SIMSON .
We deeply regret to state that Mrs. Simson , of 15 , South Street , Leominster , was informed by wire on Thursday morning that her husband , Sec . - Lieutenant R. A. Simson , R.G.A. , passed away on Monday , 11th of November , at the 54th Casualty Clearing Station in France . In a recent issue we reported that Lieut . Simson was on October 26th seriously injured in both legs . Subsequent news alternately gave rise to hope and anxiety . On Thursday morning , however , a letter from a Chaplain stated that he was very much worse and held no hope . This was soon- fol- lowed by the official telegram which conveyed the sad news of the end .
The deepest sympathy will be extended to Mrs. Simson in the terrible blow which has fallen upon her just when so much joy has come to the world . She is being cared for by her mother , Mrs. Horton , who has thus lost a second son in the war , while a third is disabled as a result of his service for the country .

Com-
MILITARY CROSS FOR CAPT . C. H. MOORE .
Residents of Leominster will be pleased to hear that the Military Cross has been conferred upon Captain C. H. Moore for gallantry in the field in France . Captain Moore , who is the son of Mr. C. E. A. Moore , of Fairlawn , Leominster , served with the A.S.C. in Macedonia for 13 months . He was invalided home with malaria and was later for a short time stationed at Chatham on Thames transport work . Then he was attached to the Worcestershire Regiment and went to France at the end of May , 1918. He arrived in Leominster on Thursday on leave from France and his many friends will congratulate him on the honour which has been conferred upon him . We hope later to give details of the exploit for which the award was made .
GASSED IN FRANCE .
News has been received that Pte . H. Greenhouse , Yorkshire Light Infantry , of Bridge Street , Leo- minster , has been admitted to hospital at Boulogne suffering from the effects of gas . He joined the Army in 1916 and went to France in March , 1917 and has seen much service , including the recent great advance . He was formerly in the " F " Company , Herefordshire Volunteers , and Territorials , and when war broke out ployed by Mr. F. C. Blomer , painter , of Broad Street . His many friends in Leominster will be pleased to hear that he is progressing favourably .
A STRANGE FIND ,
was em-
We have received in a remarkable manner the photograph of a local young lady . Accompanying the postcard is a letter from Pte . C. C. Jayes ( regiment not stated ) ' which states : " Please try and find the owner of the enclosed photo picked up in an abandoned Turkish railway station in the Palestine advance , probably left behind by some German signaller , who must have had it off one of our lads some time ago . Perhaps the photographer will help you to find the owner . " The photograph is of a young lady and was taken , as the imprint on the back shows , by Mr. A. W. DeAth , Leominster , who informs us that it is a portrait of Miss Jones , Thornbury , Bromyard . Written in pencil on the back of the photograph is the signature , " J. E. Jones , No. 32 Hut , No. of rifle 42931. "
If this paragraph should meet the eye of the young lady concerned , or the owner of the photo- safely after its strange adventures in the East . graph , we shall be pleased to restore the portrait
BRITISH PRISONERS FREE . WALKING OVER THE GERMAN FRONTIER INTO HOLLAND . While nothing is officially known in London of any British prisoners having been released from German internment , some of them have already obtained their liberty , and are now in Holland , or on their way home .
A " Daily Chronicle " representative was on Tuesday informed that the authorities there had been agreeably surprised , that some of them had " walked into Holland quite unexpectedly , " and were being hospitably provided for by the Dutch Government . It is thought that they may have been told by German military authorities that they are at liberty to leave at any time , if they are able to make their own way home , or go to another country .
All parcels individually addressed to prisoners have been stopped as there is no chance of them reaching the men .
Lord Newton explained on Tuesday night that it was impossible to find out what was happening in the case of individual prisoners . It had there- for been decided to ask the public to send only unaddressed parcels , which will be dealt with by committees in Rotterdam , and probably Copen- hagen , or some other centrss . Those committees will find out the needs of individual prisoners , and will see that supplies forwarded are wisely dis- tributed .
Vessels have already been sent to Holland , and were expected to bring back to England on Wed- nesday or Thursday the first 800 released prisoners .

AT CONSTANTINOPLE . BRITISH AND FRENCH WARSHIPS THROUGH
THE DARDANELLES . The Secretary of the Admiralty announces : - The Allied Fleet passed through the Dardan- elles on Tuesday ( November 12 ) , in fine weather . British and Indian troops occupying the forts were paraded as the ships passed . The Fleet arrived off Constantinople at 8 a.m. Wednesday .
WEST - END BONFIRE .
NELSON MONUMENT DAMAGED IN MID- NIGHT REVELLING .
For the third night in succession great crowds paraded the West End on Wednesday evening , and there were again scenes of revelry in the Strand , Trafalgar - square , and Picadilly - circus . All traffic except tabi - cabs had to be diverted , but though there was much noise and many displays of fire- works , there was for the most part good order- and little drunkenness .
Heaps of charred and blackened cinders around the base of the Nelson Monument on Wednesday marked the scene of Tuesday night's " jollificá- granite chipped off the massive plinth by the fierce " The fire started , " said an eye - witness , " with the advertisement canvas and the scaffolding of Then the big War Loan posters on the column . the soldiers and who others were the prime movers , looking round for more fuel , seized the

BAR TO MILITARY CROSS .
Major A. Huskisson , M.C. , son of Mr. J. C. Huskisson , jeweller , Church Street , Dewsbury , and formerly of High Street , Leominster , has been awarded the bar to the Military Cross for con- spicuous bravery during the recent operations .
THE LATE
SIGNALLER DESMOND JONES .
Mrs. L. Jones , of the Bell Inn , Kingsland , has received several letters from France in reference to her son , Signaller Desmond Jones , Lancashire Fusiliers , who was killed on October 14th . Lieut . Greenwood , in command of the Signal Section , writes : " His death was instantaneous . We all feel his loss greatly , as he was always ready for anything and a very cheerful boy under all cir- cumstances . I cannot sufficiently express my sor- row and sympathy for you in your great loss . " Signaller T. Nicholson writes : " I was not with him at the time , but the lads who were tell me Desmond was hit in the head and the leg , Des- mond gave me his home address some time ago as I was his closest chum out here . I miss him very much , for he was a good lad and we got
on very well together .
Captain Bradshaw writes to say that he was not in charge of the Company on October 14th and that the Captain who wounded in the was got same operations . He adds : " Your son was killed instantly by a shell which dropped very close to him . It was quite carly in the attack when we were clearing the village of Ledeghem . We were just in the village when a shell dropped in the street , killing your son and wounding the sergeant major , who died later from his wounds . I believe your son was buried by a burial party in the village , though this exactly . I cannot verify Please accept my deepest sympathy in your sad bereavement . "
WOUNDED IN FRANCE .
We regret to report that Pte . Leonard Nelson , son of Mr. and Mrs. F. Nelson , of Hereford Street , Presteign , has been badly wounded in France . It is reported that the injury is very serious , the bottom part of his left leg having been blown away by shell fire , necessitating the amputation of the limb . He is at present in hospital at South- ampton , whither his parents have one on the re- ceipt of a telegram to say that his condition was critical . Our best hopes are for his recovery .
CORLETON SOLDIER'S DEATH . We regret to record
again twice on Sundays and once on week days , Lieutenant Alfred Joseph Stubbs , younger son carrying at night a stable lantern . With battered of Mr. and hat , dishevelled hair and beard , boots unlaced , and and muddy , clothes . he presented a forlorn appearance .
His stipend was only £ 40 a year , and he enjoyed the rent of a few cottages .
At the inquest , on Wednesday , evidence was given that he had been eccentric many years , that he lived alone and would not permit anyone to visit him , and that he became angry whenever a neighbour attempted to make the cottage comfort- able for him . He took his meals out of doors , and " misunderstood . and suspected nearly every- one . " Dr. Legge said found that he Mr. Minchall lying in a heap of old newspapers , suffering from exposure and want of food , and he was removed to the workhouse infirmary , where he died . The Dean of Worcester explained that the Church authorities could not be charged with neg- lect , and that although steps had often been taken to help the vicar he would not accept any assistance . His case was not one of poverty , for he had enough to live on , and he was taken to the infirmary as a paying patient .

He proceeded to the front in France on June 21st , 1918 . The Lieut . - Colonel of his regiment writes : " He was so cheery , and he had a most excellent effect on his men . He was leading his platoon most gallantly and well when he fell , and I feel the loss so much more now that the end seems almost in sight .
