Before the case commenced, a reporter of the S. C. M. Post was Informed by the President of the Court, Major S. E. H. E. White of the Royal Scots, that it had been decided that further hearing was to be held in camera, and the Press would, therefore, not be allowed to attend. Dealing with the subject of courts martial, the Manual of Military Law states:
