A sensation has been caused in City circles by news of the arrest of the well-known British financier, Mr. Martin Coles Harman.

Detectives visited his offices with a warrant, took him to a police station and there charged him with con- spiracy to defraud.

Three other prominent City men, Mr. H. H. Pounds, Mr. B. F. Conigrave and Mr. E. C. Changest were later charged with a...... similar offence.
