Lord Hailsham, present chancellor, is a powerful man, and prebably would have had little trouble in breaking the wand. But he remembered the denouement of the trial in’ 1901 of Earl Russell for bigamous marriage with an American girl at Reno, Nev. On that occassi the di- tive Lord Halsbury ‘ruggled desperately with his wand and broke it only after several furious at- tempts. Lord Hailsham took pre- fcautions. Before the trial, he had his wand sawed in half. SII S SIS SIs numbers subjects the boat owner! to a fine of $10. Failure to carry! the certificate is punishable by fine of $100, and refusal to ex-j hibit the certificzte to qualified officers may bring about a fine of $1,000 or imprisonment for not more than one year.
