PROFESSOR LANKESTER.
LONDON, Sunday.
The trial of Professor Ray L[?]kester, the
distinguished biologist, who was recently
arrested at a disturbance at Piccadilly, took
place yesterday. The professor was nomi-
nally bound over in the >-iim of £lO to keep
Che peace. Mr Geo L*wit, the well known
solicitor who was defending Mr Lankester,
had a heated argument with the presiding
magistrate, Mr Newton, each flatly denying
the other, with the result that Mr Lewis
withdrew from the case. Several witnesses
testified to the absolute sobriety of Pro
fessor Lankester at the time of the disturb
ance.
