RECORDER AND GERMANY.
"CIVILISATION IN SUSPENSE." I LIVERPOOL. The Recorder of Liverpool, Mr. E. G. Hemmerde, K.C 1 ., decided that a woman, a German subject, should not be deported. "I should be extremely loth, having heard of this woman's good character,' he said, "to do anything that might influence her being sent back to a country where, for a "person of her religion and upbringing, the rules of civilisation are at the moment in suspense." The woman, Maria Schunk, 31, employed as a housekeeper at Foxfield Road, Meols, Cheshire, appealed at Liverpool Quarter Sessions against conviction and sentence of 21 days' imprisonment in the second division and recommendation for deportation imposed in Liverpool Police Court for stealing articles worth £1 6/ from a shop.
The Recorder, varying the Stipendiary Magistrate's decision, said he did not approve of the recommendation for deportation in this case. "It does not seem to me that such rules as liave been laid down by law for deportation were ever intended to apply to such people of good character and who might become good citizens."
The Recorder ordered the conviction to stand, but substituted binding over for imprisonment and dissented from the recommendation for deportation.
