HOME SECRETARY TO CONSIDER CASE.
Sir William Joynson-Hicks, the Homa Secretary, is, I understand,- (says, the "Daily Mail's political correspondent) to consider the position of Mr. Vernon R. M. Gattic, the London Metropolitan Police magistrate, who was Co- respondent in the divorce court action
which Lord in Merrivale granted a decree nisi, with costs, to Mr. Frank Burton Leach on the ground of his wife's adultery.
Owing to the complexity of the case, legal experts are not yet clear about the steps the Home Office may take in the matter.
Mr. Gattle, like other Metro- politan magistrates, was appointed by the King, acting on the advice of the Home Secretary. It was thought that there was no exact precedent for the case.
Serious issues concerning the administration of justice, it was painted out, however, are involved because part of a magistrate's duties is to deal with separation orders.
It is not expected that MI Gattie will take his seat
on the bench at Tower Bridge Police Court for the present.
On his behalf it was stated that Mr. Gattle did not intend to resign Immediately, but that he was await- ing any action that might be taken by the Home Office,

In evidence Mr. Arnot said that the only communication on the sub- ject from the late Sir Jamen Kemaal, managing director in Eng- land, that had been kept at Sydney was a cable reading, "Agros pay- ment if order firmly secured."
Resuming to-day, he said he be- loved he had received another cable from the firm's head office, but was unable to find any record of it.
Mr. Arnot declared that he WAS not guilty of bribery.
"What distinction do you draw between bribery and blackmail ?" asked counsel.
Mr. Arnot replied: "Bribery le giving money to get something done which should not be done. Black- mall is money forced out of you to get a man to do his duty."

Mr. Maling was then questioned. He deposed to receiving £9,500 of the £10,600 alleged to have been sent, retaining $2,000 and giving £7,500 to Alderman Green.
He declared that Mr. Arnot ori- ginally approached him with a statement that the International Combustion Company was prepared to pay £15,000 to obtain the con- tract, and suggested that some- thing of the sort might be done on Most humbly and submissive-behalf of his own firm.
