Colonel NEWMANasked the Attorney-General whether the Crown has withdrawn its appeal in the case of De Keyser's Hotel; and, if not, whether, in view of the importance of the case being decided at the earliest date, he can give the reason for the long delay in the hearing of the appeal?
§ Sir G. HEWARTThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. To the second part the answer is that there has been no delay. On the contrary, I am informed that the cause stands for hearing next Monday week.
