SIR.—Your wholesale indictments of three high and responsible officers who

have been the last to hold the high office of Home Secre- tary, under the caption of a scurrilous article entitled 'Judicial Barbarism,' are a•disgrace to British journalism.

The British Parliament and people do not support this irresponsible propaganda, which is calculated to do immeasurable harm to the prestige of the nation.

Why waste money on the Spectator? Yours faithfully,
