MR. G. B. SHAW AND BROWNE.
SYSTEM OF REWARDS FOR CONVICTION CRITICISED.
"EASILY MANUFACTÜRED.
COINCIDENCES."
נו
The following strange letter from Mr. G. Bernard Shaw, which was circulated by the Press Associa tion, deals with evidence put for ward by the Public Prosecutor at the trial of Browne and Kennedy for the murder of P.C. Gutteridge. It is understood that it has been brought to the notice of the authorities.
The letter, which Mr. Shaw sent to a relative of Browne, Bays:
A Mr. Browne prefers death to penal servitude (a choice for which there is much to be said), it is not for me to attempt to thwart him.
But on public grounds a strong protest should be made against three features of the case. One is the publication of biographies of persons whose cases are still subject appeal, especially when such biographies cannot pasally be authentic, and are published only because they are made sensational.
to
"Goincidences,"
...
Second is the use of a method of identification by coincidences which anyone can manufacture with the greatest ease. Anyone with access to discharged cartridge case and to a revolver. can tamper with the revolver ao that by simply putting the cart ridge-case into one of the cham- bers and snapping the hammer on it a mark made on the ham- mer or cylinder can be reproduc ed on the cartridge-case, and a jury deeply impressed by a manu. factured coincidence.
The third is the fact that a reward of £2,000 was offered to Any person who secured a convic- tion. It is amazing that we should still tolerate such a sur- vival from the childhood of legal civilisation, in. which it seemed the most natural thing in the world for litigants and their friends to make presents to the judge.
It certainly was more sensible to allow the judge to be bribed by
both sides than to allow, as we
were doing, Bayone to approach

INra. Browne had offered to het the Chief Commissioner of Police £3,000 that her husband would be hanged she would have gone to prison for it. If I had offered that sum to anyone who should secure an acquittal, I sup pose I should have been prosecuted for subornation. Yet in what do these three methods of creating, a pecuniary interest in a certain de- aired verdict differ 1

No judge would try the most trivial case nor any citizen sit ua- challenged on the jury with £2,000 at stake on the verdict. Why, then, is a newspaper allowed to bribe every person alive to procure a con- viction on a capital charge?
A case in which a reward of £2,000 for a conviction is combined with a novel method of identifica. tion by easily manufactured win- cidence is an extremely serious one for all of us.

NEW TREATMENT AT A

A new method of treating sleepy sickness. (encephalitis lethargica). is being used at one of the large general hospitals in "London" with very promising results.
On inquiry at the hospital & re porter was told that the trial of this remedy, which began a year ago, is progressing very satislao torily.
He revealed that Tord Carnarvon was stung by a mosquito as he Tutankhamen's entered
