Loxpox, September 18th. Inspector Randall, of the Special Branch of Scotland Yard, who has just died, spent most of his career in the arduous and responsible position of guardian of public tuen. For some time he had been attached as a personal body guard to Sir William Joynson-Hicks the Home Sceretary. His long period of service began with Mr. Lloyd George before he was Prime Minister, all through the Suffragist period, the Great War, and the Sinn Fein period. Considering what the national temperament of the English is it might be thought superfluous to take these precautions; and certainly the shadowing of public men is less neces sary in this country than in some others. All the same some men need protection against madmen and fanatics.
