The Beck Case

The Home Secretary has yielded to the popular demand, and this morning he announces the appointment of a Committee to enquire into the circumstances of Adolf Bank's two convictions. Sir Edward Clarke, upon whom so many people pitched as the proper person to preside over the inquiry, has no place on the Committes, but with the Master of the Rolls as Chairman, and Sir Spencer Walpole and Sir John Bdge as the other members, the Committee will fully inspire public confidence.
