MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT AS CO-

RESPONDENT.

RESENTMENT OF CRITICISM.

London, June 17. Mr E. Crawshay-Williams, M.P. for Leicester, who resigned his seat owing to'divorce proceedings, publishes a remarkable letter in the "Leicester ■Mail," in reply to criticisms accusing him of hypocrisy and denouncing him as a politician who inveighed against monopolists arid white-slavers, while he interfered with another man's wife. Mr Crawshay-Williams declares that a politician is only concerned with national rectitude, and he resents tho idea that his private morality should affect a man's public capacity.
