§ 55. Sir William Lane Mitchellasked the Home Secretary whether he will consider 1557 remitting the fine of £25 imposed on Mr. Roy Loxdale Warren-Smith at Clerken-well Police Court, on 23rd September, 1939, for an alleged infringement of the lighting regulations, in view of the fact that a police-sergeant gave evidence on his behalf to the effect that the defendant's lights did comply with the new regulations, and that all the witnesses for the prosecution admitted that they were unaware when they stopped the defendant that new regulations had been issued?
§ Sir J. AndersonI understand that notice of appeal to Quarter Sessions has been given in this case. Pending the determination of the appeal it would not be proper for me to intervene in the matter or to make any comment on the case.
