HC Deb 20 November 1911 vol 31 cc806-7
Mr. CATHCART WASON

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if his attention has been called to the law as laid down by Mr. Plowden when convicting Zodiac; and, in view of the fact that the trade of fortune-telling, palmistry, occultism, and palmistry is openly advertised and carried on, he will take rigorous steps to stop the existing practice?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. McKenna)

I have seen a report of the case referred to, in which I notice that the prosecution was successful, and I do not think it necessary to issue any further instructions to the police.
