On MP Quashed
London, Apr.:-16:-
A Ceylon Supreme Court order, finding a Member of Parliament guilty of con- tempt of court, ought not to have been made, the Privy Council said today.
Reasons were announéed, for the decision of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in quashing a sentence on Ar- thur Reginald Perora, a Mem- bor of the Ceylon House of Representatives, on appeal.
Perera was sentenced by Mr Justice Basnaynke to a dne of 500 rupees with six weeks' rigorous imprisonment in de- fault for making an entry in the visitors' book at the Ceylon Remand Prison which Was Judged to be a contempt of court.
His apocal was allowed by the Judicial Committee in Lan-

otherwise, tho prisoner should be présent at the pro- ocodings."
or
Lord Radcliffe, one of the three Law Lords who granted the appeal, said that Perera's information was incorrect but hu made no public use of it, contenting himself with enter- writing ing his comment and to the responsible Minister.
He was acting in good faith and in discharge of what he believed to be his duty as a Member of the Legislature. It was not until some time later that he learned that, in so far as a petitioner had his petition dealt with in his absence, It was the procedure of the Court of the prison -not the rules authorities that brought this about.
Lord Radcliffe said that any money paid by Parera by way of a fine should be repaid, and that the Crown must pay any costs he incurred in the pro ceedings in Ceylon and the costy of his appeal-Reuter.
