Birmingham County Court: Yesterday: Before His Honour Judge Chalmers: Professional Etiquette: William Hughes Marklew, designer, 312 Dudley Road, Edgbaston, to recover £50, £35 of which was paid into court. Mr. Vachell appeared for the plaintiff and Mr. Hugo Young for the defendant. The case arose out of the attempted sale of some property belonging to the defendant. It was bought by the plaintiff on the condition that he should have the title deeds given him and he paid £35 deposit.

Smith, Pinsent and Co. had done everything they possibly could to carry it out. … It seemed to him (the Judge) that the whole thing was a foolish bit of business …
