Against the culprits appeared, last week, bristling, the Attorney General, Sir Douglas Hogg. Jurymen and spectators craned forward to catch his words, for he ranks in private life with that great barrister,* Sir John Simon, as one of the few legal fencers in England whose swordplay is worth ?20,000 a year-pittance though that would be to a first rank U. S. attorney. Last week Sir Douglas Hogg adduced the testimony of faithful George Monkland and other witnesses with irrefutable force, then cried to the jury...
...author-barrister M. P.; Major Clement Richard Attlee, Laborite M. P. and the Rt. Hon. Stephen Walsh, Secretary for War in the MacDonald Labor Cabinet. The seventh, their Chairman, the Great Liberal, Sir John Simon, several times a cabinet minister, will sacrifice for each twelvemonth that he neglects his legal practice not less than £30,000.

Success and wealth were his with the turn of the century. From then Myron Timothy Herrick...
...This last point was strongly urged by Agent Gilbert in his most recent report (TIME, Dec. 26), and, last week, he discussed it thoroughly not. only with M. Poincaré at Paris, but next day in Brussels with the Belgian Finance Minister Baron Maurice Houtart. At present the total "legal liability" of Germany to the allies stands fixed at 132 billion gold marks by the so-called "London Ultimatum" of 1921; but no one dreams that so huge a sum will ever be paid in full and the Dawes Plan functions ad interim to limit the sums which...
