Children of Percy and Helen Lindsay Corder

Mr Percy Corder, of Newcastle, has received a telegram from the Under-Secretary of State for War stating that his son, Second-Lieut. Terence Spence Corder, R.F.A., is "dangerously ill, gassed," wrong reported "dangerously wounded and gassed." Later reports show some improvement in his condition. He joined the Army on leaving Shrewsbury School in August, 1915. He was wounded in November last whilst in command of a trench mortar section, and had only returned to the front.

Mr Percy Corder, of Newcastle, has received a telegram from the War Office stating that his son, Lieut. Terence Corder, R.F.A., who rejoined his regiment on the 31st July from hospital at Dieppe, was admitted on the 11th inst. to the Duchess of Westminster's Hospital, Le Touquet, suffering from gunshot wound in right arm.

Before the inquest ended, Mr. Clive S. Corder, solicitor, representing Miss Richardson's relatives, protested that the body of the girl was left lying in the dust of the road for an hour after the tragedy. "Surely," he said, "it is not right that the body should have been left like that, for all and sundry to gaze at, causing agony of mind to members of her family already distracted by grief."

The Coroner said it was not a matter within his jurisdiction and advised Mr. Corder to take the matter up with the police.

Mr. Clive S. Corder, solicitor, of Manchester, who defended, said that as a matter of fact his client had been in hospital for 10 days suffering from concussion and he remembered nothing at all about the accident. [ . . . ]

A tribute to the fairness of the evidence of two police witnesses, P.C. Hodgson and P.C. Thompson, members of the Lancashire County Constabulary, stationed at Morecambe, was paid at Morecambe Police Court to-day by a solicitor, Mr Clive S. Corder, Manchester, who defended Charles W. Lyons, a labourer, Lonsdale-place, Lancaster. The latter was fined £2 and ordered to pay £1 11s. costs for driving a motor car carelessly, a summons alleging dangerous driving being withdrawn. "I have never heard fairer evidence in any police court in my life," said Mr. Corder.

Mr Clive S. Corder, who defended, submitted that Bromley was not familiar with the road and that when he braked the car skidded.

Defending, Mr. Clive S. Corder, Manchester, said his client candidly admitted following a heavy motor lorry laden with chippings, and was pulling out to pass when he saw the cyclists. Although he did his best to avoid an accident, a slight collision occurred. He very much regretted it.

In view of the fact that defendant had kept a clean record for over eleven years, Mr. Corder asked the magistrates to deal leniently with the case. He had not put forward a ridiculous plea in an attempt to deceive the magistrates, he was quite honest about what had happened.
