NEW RULES FOR THE POLICE.

NO STATEMENT WITHOUT A WARNING.

CHAPERONS FOR WOMEN.

SAVIDGE REPORT DEBATE.

As a result of the reports of the "Savidge" Tribunal Sir Wil--

·líam Joynson-Hicks, the Home Secretary, has issued new written instructions to Scotland Yard governing, the examination of wit- nesses by the police. These, summarised, are as follows:

In every case where the inquiry chiefly involves the witness's own.

reputation the matter is to be first referred to the central de a partment of Scotland Yard.

Before any steps are taken to obtain a statement from such a person, man or woman, detailed instructions suitable to the case are to be issued to the officer making the inquiry by one of the heads of Scotland Yard.

The witness must be clearly informed beforehand of the nature of the "statement required, and "where "a person's youth; inex-. perience, or ignorance makes it desirable the possible conse ...quences involved must be explained."

When a woman is to be questioned on matters of an intimate personal nature a police woman or matron must be present unless the witness expressly requests that no other woman" shall be there.

Sir William Joyason-Hicks made this announcement during the debate in the House of Commons on the Savidge Tribunal re- port. They are, he said. provisional orders pending any deci sions that may be reached by a Royal Commission which is to be set up to examine the whole question of police methods.

Miss Irene Savidge, with her father, listened to the debate from the Public Gallery Mr. J. J. Withers (Con., Cambridge Univer sity) and Mr. Lees Smith (806, Keighley), the two M.P. who, with Sir John Eldon Bankes, formed the tribunal of inquiry in- to the case, purposely abstained from attendance. There was not a large attendance of members.

'A PATIENT'S LIFE IS HIS

SIR T. HORDER ON A DOCTOR'S DUTY

MISPLACED ZEAL.”

Should-the-doctor endeavour to prolong life in a hopeless case of disease?

The question was raised by Sir Thomas Harder, the famous physi cian, in a paper at the International Cancer Conference in London on July 18th. He gave no definite an- swer to the question, but he defned the doctor's attitude when faced with these distressing cases as fol- lows:

To prolong life by all the means, in his power consistent with not adding to the patient's discomforts.

"It has been said that prolong- ing file in hopeless diseases is often prolonging the, act of dying," con- tinued Sir Thomas. "When this is so, humanity rightly dictates that the doctor's real is wholly mis placed. But as to this no universal rele can be laid down.

"The patient's life is his ow and no one else's, the prerogative least of all of his most sensitive friends, who oft-times plead for the advent of death as a relief from their own. participation in the struggle. as much as for His."

Smith. The Government, it was announced, accepts the majority report. The technical occasion for the debate was a motion to reduce the annual estimate for the cost of the police force by 2100. It was moved by Mr. Johnston, who first drew attention in the House to the interrogation of Miss Savidge at Scotland Yard.

He insisted that the present motion was brought forward purely as

question of civil liberty.

He then raised an entirely new issue the relations between the Press and Scotland Yard, being apparently under the impression that since the issue of the Savidge report a deliberate campaign had been organised in the Press by the

Yard chiefs.
