REFLECTIONS ON

A JUDGE

"DAILY WORKER” GUILTY OF CONTEMPT.

PRISON

SENTENCES.

Arguments were heard in а King's Bench Divisional Court, on a rula nisi calling on certain per- sons concerned in the printing and publication of the Daily Worker to show cause why they should not be attached for contempt of Court. The rule was granted at the re- quest of the Attorney-General, Sir William Jowitt, K.C., who stated that the Daily Worker on July 8 contained an article commenting upon the trial before Mr. Justice Swift, at the Hampshire Assizes, of a man charged with distributing to troops at Aldershot copies of a pamphlet which was alleged to be an incitement to mutiny. The man was sentenced to eighteen months' hard labour.

Sentences from the article com plained of, quoted by Sir William, were: "Rigby Swift, the Judge who sentenced Comrade Thomas, was the bewigged puppet and former Tory M.P. chosen to put the Communist leaders away in 1926." "The defending Counsel, able he was, could not do very much in the face of the strong class bias of the judge and jury.”

AS

The rule was directed to Mr. William Thomas Wilkinson, describ- ed by the Attorney-General as the Managing Director of the Utopia Press, Ltd., Worship-street, E.C.,
