Evidence:
'November brought a peculiar police-court case, which made literary history, after Radclyffe Hall's novel, "The Well of Loneliness", had been suppressed for impropriety. I had reviewed this earnest and harmless story on publication, and now joined the thirty-nine "expert" witnesses who appeared before the Bow Street magistrate, Sir Chartres Biron.'
