§ Sir D. Maxwell FyfeIt is the duty of the police to investigate when they have reason to suspect that a criminal offence may have been committed. The Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis informs me that this child's parents both state that they consented to his journey to America for a holiday of three months at the end of which time a further decision would be taken about the boy's future.
