He was speaking at u meeting of justice the British scetion of the International Commission of Jurists.

He was asked by Lord Shaw- cross, the chairman, whether he thought it desirable to maintain 1 existing British rula of ad milting the press to committal proceedings at the lower court.

IN LONG RUN

Lord Goddard replied: "Yes I think so. My view is that I do not bellove the fury, although they may have read all about the case before they come to court, really are prejudiced against the prisoner in the long run.

"There is all the difference in the world between reading something in a newspaper und hearing something in court," Lord Godklard said.

"My own belief is that when the fury are sworn they pay altention to what is said in court and not what has been read. Of course, you can't really fell. It is one of those things you can't be certain about" - -China-Mail-Spoviai.
