CHARGE OF BIAS AGAINST AN ENGLISH JUDGE.
4 [press association.] (Received December 31, 0.25 p.m.) London, 30th December. In a sensational trial recently concluded at Liverpool, Lieutenant R. G. Warke, of the Royal Artillery, was sentenced to death in connection with the death of Miss Jane Yates, a young lady of independent means and a member of a highly-respectable Liverpool family, who succumbed to the effects of an illegal operation, in which Warke assisted. Subsequently Warke's death sentence was commuted to imprisonment for life. Now complaints are made that Mr. Justice Phillirnore, before whom Warke was tried, displayed bias against the prisoner, ' and a petition has been presented to the Queen bearing 20,000 signatures, asking for the prisoner's release. His dismissal from the army has been gazetted.
