The case was appealed on the
grounds that the action OF the secre-

However, the secretary Of state can
now proceed to get the charter can

 result without discussion. Not long af- forwards a workman was stabbed fatally as he was coming out of a dancing hall. The man who had stabbed him quickly disappeared and the workman was placed in a cab and driven to an address which he had given. This was in a certain street where sister of his was living
 "The man was barely able to get ont of the cab and to explain that he had been stabbed. His case was so serious that he was conveyed to a hospital, and died a few hours later.
