RAISING MONEY
MOCK COURT FOR CHARITY. , LONDON, June 28. A method of raising money for charities, practised in England just now witli great success, is the staging of public debates in which celebrities take part. Another plan is the prosecution before a judge of critics, producers and people in the public eye, by a prosecutor who himself has probably been in the dock of a meek court. Recently Mr Guedella prosecuted a number of troublesome critics, including Messrs Gerald Gould, Priestley and Humber Wolfe, Mrs Lynd and Miss Rebecca West, for “not reading books.” Before Sir Ernest Wild, Messrs Cedric Hardwicke, A. P. Herbert,. Seymour Hicks and E. Knoblock and Sir Nigel Playfair were charged for “continuing a hopeless struggle.” Mr G. K. Chesterton, in another f-fo p-offlonfed the head masters of Harrow, Merchant Taylors’, Lancing and University College Schools ftijr “destroying liberty of thought.”' Here is a plan which might be taken up to' raise funds for local charities.
