I’ll get me coat :lol:
Described as a Turkish citizen, a man was recommended by magistrates for deportation after evidence had been given that he had encouraged the use of his orchard for immoral purposes.
A second charge, that he had lived on the immoral earnings of his niece, Esmeralda, the daughter of a clergyman, was dropped.
Agreeing that he was the author of the popular song ‘Love, love, nothing but love, Still more’, the defendant stated that he was acting in the best interests of his niece.
It was stated that Esmeralda had recently left the country to join an officer of the Greek Army. ‘Everybody called her Cressid,’ said her uncle.INTRODUCED TO OFFICERS
The defendant denied that he had received any monetary consideration for introducing his niece to Army officers. Esmeralda had spoken of them as her ‘fiances’ and he had allowed her the use of his orchard on that understanding.
He did not agree that on one occasion he had used the words ‘I will show you a chamber with a bed.’ He did not know how often intimacy had taken place between his niece and visting officers.
There were angry interruptions from officers in court during the cross-questioning of a witness who gave his name as Thersites, and was described as a journalist.Asked about the general moral tone of the camp concerned, he replied ‘Nothing but lechery. All incontinent varlets.’
‘If the Ministry of Health officials had shown a little more understanding, these two people would be alive today. Their action was bureaucracy run riot.’
In support of this allegation, the Reverend ForgetMeNot told the coroner that his curate, who was carrying a vital message to the young husband, had been forcibly detained on the ground that he had been in contact with an infectious disease.
‘NOT NICE’
Asked whether he had himself admitted that the letter was ‘not nice’, witness said he might have said something of the sort. He had, he said, been upset by the thought of a living corpse.’ being ‘enclosed in a dead man’s tomb’. The coroner said that was very natural.
The message, had it been delivered, would have done much to prevent a misunderstanding with most unfortunate consequences.
He agreed that he had himself officiated when the couple secretly went through a form of marriage at his house.
Asked ‘Why the secrecy?’ he said that there had been family objections to the marriage. He did not think that intimacy had taken place before the marriage.‘VERY MUCH IN LOVE’
‘But’, he added, ‘they were very much in love. So much that I refused to leave them alone in my study for even a few minutes before performing the ceremony.’A woman who had been in domestic service with the deceased girl’s parents described them as being of a violent disposition.

‘These disgusting allegations against a distinguished scientist’ was counsel’s description of newspaper reports which were the subject of a libel action.
‘Poison pens and vulgar tittle-tattle’, continued counsel, ‘have been responsible for all this talk of “black magic”, and this so-called “island of vice”.’
He was amazed, he said, that any newspaper had dared to give such rumours currency.NIGHTMARE STUFF
The so-called ‘experiments’, involving a ‘monster’ and the young daughter of regular chat poster Professor Pete, had been perfectly normal scientific procedure. Moreover the daughter was now, he understood, happily married, and had been deeply distressed by the publication of these rumours, which might well be though to be such stuff as nightmares are made of.
She vaguely remembered a young man whom her father addressed as Ariel, but denied that he had ‘meant’ anything to her. She had considered him ‘effeminate’.lols bet it was a bit stormy
