Defendant did tell him that he had taken the rent money , and wanted to make it up . When asked if they had anything to say in their own defence , Barrett said he guilty , and could say no more . Bishop said he was going to speak the truth . Barrett went round selling papers on Sunday morn- ings , and when he came to him , he said he wanted to sell the watch . He tried to sell it to Mrs. Bishop and the sons first , but they refused , and when the boy told him he had the watch from his father for 2s . 24d . , and that he could not get it to work , he quite thought it was all right . The boy also said , in reply to his question , that it was quite honest . He borrowed a key , wound the watch up , and found it would go . He then gave Barrett a shilling for it , thinking it was an honest deal . Harewood End Police Court . MONDAY - Before Sir James Rankin , Bart , ( in the chair ) , Capt . T. Raymond Symons , Mr. H. W.

London has lost one of its most popular and highly - esteemed clergymen by the death of Canon Rhodes Bristow at the age of eighty . He had been in failing health for about a year , and symptoms of exhaustion became pro- nounced about two months ago . He was then medically advised to give up his labours , but he declared that he would prefer to die in harness . His wishes were fulfilled , and he passed peacefully away at his residence , Eliot Park , Lewisham , on Sunday evening , in the presence of his wife and three daughters , his son being abroad in the diplomatic service . Swollen afresh by the heavy rain , the His mother , it may be recalled , died not long floods in the Thames and Les Valleys have ago at the age of 103 . become increasingly serious . March is living up to her reputation for wildness of weather . During the week - end a furious gale has raged in the Channel and on the coast . Five lives were lost in a wreck at Land's End , and elsewhere lifeboat crews have effected rescues . GALE - SWEPT COASTS . In mountainous seas the Swedish barque Trifolium drove ashore on Sunday morning at Sennen , near the Land's End , and was pounded to pieces in half an hour , five of her crew of eleven being lost .. The six men rescued include the mate , whose leg is broken . The lifeboats and rocket apparatus were called out . The vessel had gone ashore before the former could render any assistance ; but the rocket brigade did admirable service . One of the crew jumped overboard , and , seizing lifeline which had been thrown by the rocket , was rescued . Another of the crew then sprang overboard , and got hold of the rocket line . His rescue was also effected , Chief Coast guard Officer Oddy at great risk rushing into the surf and saving the man . Seeing that their comrades had got safe ashore , the other survivors jumped overboard , and were rescued in a similar manner by the Coast guard and rocket brigade . Canon Bristow was a most painstaking paro- chial and diocesan worker , and had done splendid service in South London . The whole of his clerical career had been spent there except for a brief tenure of a curacy in Clerk- in the old diocese of Rochester and the recon- enwell some forty - eight years ago ; and both structed Southwark one he worked tirelessly for the welfare of the community .

While he was at St. Stephen's Church , Lewisham , where he followed the famous preacher Mr. Tooth , whose name was in everybody's mouth a generation or so ago , proceedings were taken against him , and one Sunday , as he was about to ascend the steps of the pulpit to deliver his sermon a churchwarden barred his way , at the same time holding out an injunction . “ That is all right , " calmly said the Canon . " I can preach just as well from the chancel steps , " and forthwith he pro- ceeded to do so .

WYE FISHERY RECORDS . The report of the Board of Conservators of the Wye Fishery District for the season 1913 that number of salmon killed by stat constituted a further record for the river . The total amounted to 3,588 , weighing 61,504 lb. , with an average of 17lb . 6oz . The average weight of the fish killed was the largest yet recorded ; no less than 217 of 271b . and upwards were taken , and of these 12 were of 40lb . and over , the largest fish being 474lb . , compared with eight in 1912 , when the largest was 47. The results of the netting season also constituted a record both in number and average weight of fish caught . Defendant pleaded not guilty . The catch totalled 6,408 fish , weighing Clara Jane Davies deposed that the defen- 88,6864lb . , an average of 13.061b . , with 110 dant was her husband , but at present she fish over 271b . , compared with 69 in 1912 . lived with her mother at Much Dewchurch , and 46 in 1911.

After the Magistrates had considered the case in private , the Chairman said that as this was Barrett's first offence , they did not want to deal severely with him , but he would be placed under the supervision of the Pro- bation Officer for the next twelve months , and if he did anything wrong during that time , he would be brought up and very severely dealt with . If he behaved himself properly for twelve months , there would be no further trouble . As regarded Bishop , the Magistrates thought he ought to have known better than pay one shilling for a watch and sell it again almost immediately for ten shillings , which showed a rather guilty knowledge . Bishop would therefore for fourteen days with hard labour . Time was allowed in which to pay the penalty . Ross Police Court . He The trout season com- the lifeboat .
