HYDE PARK CASE.

SCOTLAND YARD TACTICS. PROPOSED ENQUIRY. Press Association-Electric Telegraph-Copyright LONDON, Monday. A Liberal member of the House of Commons, Mr R. ITopkin Morris, lias tabled an amendment to the motion moved by the Home Secretary (Sir W. ■Jcynson-Hicks), deleting the words referring to the conduct of the prosecution and evidence in the Hyde Park case, thus limiting the enquiry strictly to the police action in taking the girl io Scotland Yard. A number of the Opposition fear that the matter of the interrogation of Scotland Yard may otherwise be obscured by a mass of details regarding the Ilyde Park affair. Moreover, a public enquiry might prejudice criminal proceedings for perjury.—Australian Press Association.— —United Service. A STARTLING LETTER, LONDON, Monday. Mrs Browne, wife of one of the two men,sentenced to death for the murder of Constable Gutteridge, in a startling letter to Reynolds’ "Sunday News,” in reference to the Savage case, states ti.at the day following Browne’s arrest Scotland Yard officers took, her to the station at 10.U0 in the morning and she remained till 7 at night. She was questioned hour after hour with nothing to eat or drinlc. Her child, who accompanied her, cried bitterly: "Mummy, can’t I have something to eat?” and the police then provided tea and rough sandwiches. Nlvs Browne alleges that the questioning did not cease, the police saying that she must be aware of her husband’s movements and what he was doing. She was tired and worn out

when allowed to go, and might have said anything when so fatigued.”— Australian and N.Z. Press Association, —United Service,
