GUARDS AGAINST NIGHT STARVATION
Another letter, he said, spoke of n "dark lady." The couple were on affectionate terms at that time.
Giving judgmeat, the Master of the Rolls, Sir Wiltrid Greene, said he came to the conclusion that Mrs. Watson's evidence, about the trans- actions with Bennett left the mater
a state of uncertainty as to what was the bargain between them.
It was clear that Mrs. Watson had advanced money to Bennett, but there was a complete lack of cision as to whai was to be done pre-
with it.
"The fuct was that this woman was apparently Infatuated with him," he said, "and did not formulate any sort of business proposition."
The appeal was dismissed with
costs.
Judge On Freedom Of The Press
WHEN he was asked to sup- press the name of a man in the Divorce Court recently Mr. Justice Langton said:
"I cannot give orders about that. It is a matter for the Press. They are always very considerate, but I have no power to order it."
Mrs.
Violette Marie Fraser, who now lives in Paris, was granted a divorce on the ground of the adultery of her husband, Mr. Guy Basil Fra-
er, and the request her counsel, Mr. R. T. Barnard,
was made by
Later the two counsel in the case saw the Judge in his private room.
On returning to court Mr. Justice Langton said: "At the outset of this
case an appeal was made to me by. the petitioner that certain details concerning the case should not be published in the Press, and htt occasion to remind her and It is just as well that it should be thoroughly understood that I have no control whalezer as to wint should be published by the Press.
QUESTION OF LIBERTY
"The freedom of the Press in this country is Just as important n quen- tion of liberty as any other liberties
of the subject, and Parliament has been neither slow ner supine in loy- ing down what shall and what shall
not be reported ns 'far as this Divi- ! slon is concerned,
"The Legislature has made it a matter of special concern as to how fur the ordinary complete freedom ahould be in any way curtalled. have no ward to any whatever about that.
is my only business in this matter to see that the statutes are properly respected, and have no Jurisdiction whatever outside those statules. On the other hand there are cases when, in my judgment, it is unnecessary to recita in public all the extraneous facts of a particular care. That is a matter for my per«- sonal, discretion,"
