Alleged To Be Seditious Libel
Morecambe, Lancashire, Oct. 13.-Mr. James Caunt, 17-year-old editor, publisher and proprietor of the newspaper, Morecambe and Heysham Visitor, was committed for trial at the next Lancashire Assizes after appearing before a magistrate's court here today on a summons of publishing seditious libel against the Jewish race in a recent article.
When hearing of the summons opened today, the pro- secuting counsel stated that he believed Mr Caunt's article went to the limits prescribed by criminal law for mere controversy and "threatens to interfere with the King's peace."
