Magistrate Warns Jew Refugees
"I INTEND TO ΤΟ ENFORCE LAW TO THE FULLEST"
"The way Stateless Jews from Germany are pouring in from every port in this country is becoming an outrage," said Mr. Herbert Metcalfe, the Old Street magistrate, recently. "I intend to enforce the law to the fullest.
"The policy adopted by this country-and if I may say so it is a wise policy-is to punish sternly aliens coming into the country illegally. It is not merely taking them by the scruff of the neck and throwing them out."
Mr. Metcalfe passed sentence of six months' hard labour, with a recommendation to deportation, on three people, John Bockner (30), photographer; Mendel Flerman (32), tailor; and Henrietta Weiss (32), barmaid, all of Tudor House, Hackney.
They were accused that, being allens of uncertain nationality, they were in Britain without leave of an Immigration officer.
Gutta Kenachman (32), described na British, and giving the same address, was discharged under the Summary Jurisdiction Act. She had been charged with harbouring Bockner, but the imagistrate accopted her explanation that Bockner, whom she had contented to marry had told her he was American,
It was stated that Bockner was born at Minsk, Russia, and Flerman in Warsaw. Flerman had stated that he had been married to Weiss according to Jewish rites.
