V LEGAL INTELLIGENCE Seaplane and Aeroplane's Share in Prize Bounty THIS was a motion in the Prize Court on January 2,on behalf of Capt. John Robin Allen, lately in the Royal Air Force, and Flight Officer Colin Petes Brown, D.F.C., R.A.F.,for a declaration that they were entitled to share in the award of prize bounty, amounting to ^160, which had alreadybeen made by the Court in favour of H.M. seaplane 8695 for the destruction of the German submarine U.C.72.Mr. J. A. Stainton, who appeared for the applicants, read an affidavit which had been sworn by Capt. Allen,from which it appeared that on September 22, 1917, the aeroplanes B.1821 and B.1819, of which Mr. Brown andhe were pilots, were under orders to escort the seaplane 8695 while she was patrolling in search of enemy submarinesbetween Dunkirk, Dover and Ostend, and were following and protecting the seaplane (which, as compared with anaeroplane, was unwieldy, slow and a large target), when she sank the U.C.72. Mr. Wilfrid Lewis and Mr. Ronald Walker, who appearedfor the crew of the seaplane and H.M. Procurator-General, assented to the motion.The President, in granting the motion, said that the aeroplanes were protecting the seaplane, and their presencewas a necessary part of the success of the operation. The •crew of the seaplane were quite willing that the fund shouldbe shared by the applicants, and he only regretted that the fund was not larger. m m m m SIDE-WINDS IT is pleasant to put on record in these columns a photo-graph of Mr. G. A. Parsons, who has recently been appointed general manager of the Palmer Tyre, Ltd., in succession toMr. E. J. Mitchell. Mr. Parsons joined the Palmer Tyre organisation as manager of the Motor Tyre Department inJanuary, 1904, and has been responsible for the sales control of Palmer Cord motor tyre right from its inception to thepresent day. He was made joint general manager in May. 1919-Genius has been denned as an infinite capacity for taking pains, and at no period was genius in organisation betterexemplified than during the progress of the War. Mr. Parsons was responsible for the management of the whole of theaeroplane wheel and tyre branch of the Palmer business, and some idea of the magnitude of the operations will be FEBRUARY 10, 1921 THE Sunbeam Motor-Car Co., Ltd., announce that it isquite impossible at the present time to offer their cars at any lower prices than those stated in their current catalogue ;yet in order to encourage sales, they will be pleased to refund to those purchasing now, and up to June 30 next, anydifference between present prices and prices ruling then, should it be found possible to effect any reduction during thenext few months.

Up to the end ofthe campaign Palmer aeroplane wheel and tyre output was always ahead of the combined requirements of the R.A.F.in the field and the constructors at home, leaving a very useful margin at the disposal of our Allies in the variors fields ofWar. From this it will be seen that Mr. Parsons brings to his new position a ripe judgment and an experience gainedin the practical world of doing things, and we congratulate both Mr. Parsons on his appointment and the Company onits selection.
