THE BOTTOMLEY CASE
V SEVERE PRESS COMMENT. By Telegraph.—-Press Assn.—Copyright. London, May 31 Bottomley received £25,000 as compecsation from the proprietors for the determination of his editorship of John Bull. Truth states that Bottomley’s sentence rids the Parliament, public life and journalism of a disgrace which ought never to have been tolerated. This plausible, clever, cunning rogue duped all kinds and conditions of people. The country often has to use dirty instruments in war time and Bottomley’s services as professional patriot might have been worth the handsome fee he received for such services, but the Government ought to have had the courage to intervene when they saw him after the war raking in hundreds of thousands by means of Bond Clubs on the palpable false pretence that the investors would enjoy thq security of the State.
