KKPOIiT OP PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE. (Reeoived Nov. 27, 5.4 p.m.) LONDON, Nov. 26. The report of the Parliamentary committee appointed by the Government to inquire into the case of Adolf liock suggests that instead of the eltetion of a new Court of A|ipeal a slight change be made, to compel the judge to state a case for tte consideration of the court, the Crown cuses being reset ted. 1 The committee points out that the miscarriage of justice in Beck's case would have been remedied, in the flrsrt instance, if the Reorder (Sir Forrest Fulton) had concodod Mr Quill's point regarding' the comparison of the incriminating documents of 1877 and 1890. The Hume Oflice is severely blamed for not coxnmunii eating to the I'ublic Prosecutor or the police the discovery, made in 1898, that Beck was not Smith. The committee suggests various means of improving the judicial administrative machinery.
