¦ HOUSE OF LORDS APPEAL.

The Lord Chanceller and Lords Buckmaster, Atkinson, Parmeer, and Wrenbury, in the House of Lords
"CHEPSTOW.
The following letter appears in the Times of March 22 over the signature "A"
In these days when Government Departments are piling up colossal expenditures there is ample justiñca- tion for your Chepstow Correspon- dent's demand for a searching in- quiry by an independent committee of business men." The disclosures which your correspondent has made in his articles on the National Ship- yards have been challenged, and an inquiry is therefore imperative.
There is a rare exbibition of Gov- ernment juggling in The Times of this morning. In your Parliamentary report appears the following
continued the hearing of the appeal of Hugo Weinberger against the decision of the courts below that the committee of the Stock Exchange w within their rights in refusing to re-elect him for membership.
There had been a strong agitation inst the re-election of members pof enemy birth, and in March, 1917, ty-seven such members including the appellant, had their applications ected. Mr. Weinberger was born at Nuremberg, in Bavaria, in 1866, eme to England in 1887, and was naturalised here in 1892. He married 1896 a lady who was a British-born: subject but of German extraction.
Mr. Gore-Frown, K.C., continuing Bis argument for the appellant, said ther in this: case there was no national danger to be averted, the man had done nothing unpatriotic, In another column, following your and he had been an adherent of the "Chepstow correspondent's article, British Crown with strict propriety. The committee ought not to have Latowed prejudice to run away with
them
Lord Buckmaster said there was ne suggestion, anywhere that the man had any sympathy with Ger- maay or that he had acted otherwise than as a patriot.
Mr. Lambert-Is there any truth in the rumour, published in The Times this morning, that these na-) tional shipyards have been transfer-1 red to the Office of Works? Mr. Bonar Law-No. Sir."
there is an official statement by the Office of Works to the effect that:-
"The First Comissioner has acced- led to a request from the Shipping. Controller that Sir Frank Baines shall undertake the reponsibility for carrying through the housing pre- gramme already decided upon, and any other constructional work may Mr. Gore-Brown said the man was still be considered necessary, His of undoubted loyalty, and the only advice will also be available on any thing against Lim was that he was technical points which may arise in born in a foreign country.

Baines, Sir Frank, Kt., Cr. 1918: Mr. Upjohn, K.C., for the com-"C.B.E.. 1918; M.V.O.: Principal mittee of the Stock Exchange..argued, Architect, H.M. Office of Works, in the membership was for one year charge of Reyal Palaces, Houses of only, and, conferred on the member Parliament, Public and Historic Build- no right to be re-elected. The duties of the committee were administrative and not judicial, and were owed to the proprietors and not to the mem- bers. It was within the power of the committee to make rules govern ing the admission of any class of members, and they could if they liked excinde all men with red hair.
The hearing was adjourned..
The new appointment seems to be an admirable one if the. National, Shipyard at Chepstow is to become an ancient monument; but if it is the Government's intention to "carry on" at Chepstow, why not appoint! some one who is better acquainted with ships than with historic build- ings and ancient monuments?
