(Received August 6, 10.30 p.m.) LONDON, August 6,
In the election for North Sligo, Mr. Scanlan, Nationalist, was returned unopposed, replacing the late Mr McHugh (Nationalist). Mr Lloyd-George’s Limehouse speech, giving instances of landowners’ selfishness, has been strongly contradicted in the specific cases mentioned. The Duke of Westminster, in reply to several correspondents, urging him to prosecute Mr. Lloyd-Georgo for misstatements, declares that considering the Chancellor’s personal idiosyncrasies, the best defence is to trust in the fairness and sense of decency still inherent in the community.
