Colonel NEWMANasked the Attorney-General whether the delay in the hearing by the House of Lords of the Crown's appeal in the De Keyser Hotel action is due to the congested state of business before that House; and when the appeal is likely to be heard?
§ Sir G. HEWARTIt is not the case that there has been, through any cause, any delay in the hearing of the appeal to which the question refers. The appeal is following the regular course, and will be heard in its turn, but it is not possible to predict the date of the hearing.
