London, Sept. 2.
Lord Halg's prodigious' diary-writing propensities were mentioned during an action at Edinburgh, which resulted in the granting to-day Interim interdict against the pub-Weation of Lady Haig's book, "The Man T Knew."
It was stated that Lord Haig's petsonal records during the Great War aggregated 750,000 words. The diary was written in duplicate, a carbon copy always being sent his wife.
Lady Halg's object in writing "The Man I Knew" was largely to vindicate her husband against the attack made upon him in Mr. Lloyd George's memoirs.
"The publishers have decided to withhold the book in consequence of to-day's action, which Was taken on the ground that parts of it infringed the copyright of the trustees of Lord Haig's diaries, the publication of which,-they contended, was likely to be detrimentally affected, thereby causing a loss to the Haig estate~ Reuter.
