§ 12. Mr. DENNISONasked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been called to the action of the Birmingham police authority in removing a poster advertising a certain music-hall artist; and on what grounds did the Home Office, on being consulted, approve of this action being taken?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSThe artist in question improperly, but without wrongful intention, displayed a portion of a Treasury Note on an advertisement. The Birmingham police very properly called his attention to it; the advertisement was withdrawn and the artist admitted that the police were right and that he was wrong.
