SCOTLAND YARD INQUIRY.
Australian Press Assn.—United Service LONDON, June 8. Birkett, opening the case for the police!, said: “Submission will be that the police have been gravely misunderstood. There has been a grave misconception of tlie purposes for which the iUteirogatioo op Miss Saviclge took place. The whole interrogation proceeded' cn the sole question whether Pc- icemen Badger -and McLean had committed perjury. They are men of good character with wives and children, and were entitled to consideration. Obviously Miss Saviclge and Sir C. Money would be the principal witnesses for the Crown. If the policemen were prosecuted, therefore, the public prosecutor must know for certain if his witnesses would stand the test of crossexamination. Hence the interrogation was most meticulous and detailed far beyond the ordinary range of matters mentioned in the Police Court.’’
