§ Sir J. Mellorasked the Attorney-General whether he has considered the observations of Mr. Justice Humphreys in dismissing applications for leave to appeal by Marie Louisa Auguste Ingram and William Swift; and why these two persons were not indicted under the provisions of the Treachery Act, 1940?
§ The Attorney-GeneralThe offences charged here were committed before the Treachery Act, 1940, became law, and therefore no question of proceedings under that Act arose.
