Liverpool Civic Policy Of Boycott Alleged

A remarkable statement, attack- ing the Liverpool civic authorities, was made by the Recorder, Mr. EG.Hemmerde, KC, when he took his sent at Liverpool City Sessions.

Stating that he had received_no Invitation in his capacity as Ra corder to bo present. to welcome the King and Queen on the occasion of the opening of the Queensway Tunnel the Recorder said, "This ignoring of my position Is not an isolated case. It is part of the policy of ceremonial and professional boycott, deliberately adopted by the civic authorities in 1921

The Recorder went on to say that the reasone for this discredit able policy were in the main three

Firstly his defence, in 1921, of the Sinn. Fein prisoners, when he discredited some of the evidence of the police; secondly, his action in the same year when unemployed lenders were convicted before him of riot and "I refused to allow my judgment as to the

The witch doctors were trying to die- cover the murderer of a native named Tours, who had been found speared to death a few days earlier. Making horrible nelses and chan- ting loudly, the crowd, composed of natives from all the tribes in the neighbourhood, eagerly follow- ed the movements of the witch doctors, who were dancing round a bamboo pole, ton feet high, stuck in the grave of the murdered man,
