Introduction
INTRODUCTION Most investigations of early twentieth-century Liberalism have centred on the politics of Campbell-Bannerman and Asquith's cabinets, the thought of Liberal intellectuals, and the struggles of local parties.1 But the world of the backbencher remains relatively obscure. When he has been studied, it has usually been in the mass as historians have sought to chart changes in the social background of Liberal MPs or tabulate their opinions, as expressed in parliamentary divisions, on topics like social reform or the relative merits of Asquith and Lloyd George.2 Much less is known about the lives of backbench MPs. This is largely because few of these men left any detailed records. The only published diary of a backbench Liberal MP for this period is that of R.D. Holt, MP for Hexham 1907-1918, and this can be supplemented by a handful of similar sources in archives around the country.3 The letters which Arnold Rowntree wrote to his wife, Mary, while he was MP for York in 1910-1918 provide an important addition to the existing material. They are particularly significant for three reasons. Firstly, Rowntree was, in many ways, a fairly typical Liberal backbencher. He was a middle-aged nonconformist businessman, sitting for a constituency that was his home and the location of his business. But he provides an important corrective to the idea that all men from this background were, like R.D. Holt, necessarily enemies of the New Liberalism. Secondly, Rowntree's letters are not just concerned with parlia- mentary politics. They cover all his interests, including his family, business, and religion and his charitable work. -

The 1924 Labour Government and the Failure of the Whips
The 1924 Labour Government and the Failure of the Whips by Michael Meadowcroft The first Labour government has been the subject of much research aided by a remarkable number of MPs who served in the 1924 parliament who either wrote memoirs or were the subject of biographies. However, though there is a consensus on the underlying strategic aim of Labour to use the arithmetic of the Liberals’ political dilemma to deal the party a lethal blow, there has been no focus hitherto on the day-to-day parliamentary process and the lack of a clear Labour strategy in government. There was neither a tactical decision to have measures that the Liberals could be expected to support, nor a deliberate policy to press forward with more socialist legislation that would please its own MPs, or at least the more vocal of them, and deliberately challenge the Liberal MPs. Instead the government continued along an almost day-to-day existence. The Labour parliamentary party had no collective experience of managing parliament and singularly failed to learn the tricks of the trade, not least as a consequence of the failure of the party whips to function effectively. This analysis focuses on the key role of the party whips and on their responsibility for the short nine-month life of the first Labour government. I have to declare an interest as a paid up member of the Whips’ Union having acted as Alan Beith’s deputy whip, 1983–86. The importance of the whips in a party system is a neglected field of study. -

It has been accepted for inclusion in Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology by an authorized editor of Northwestern University School of Law Scholarly Commons. TBE LIFE OF AN ENGLISH CRIMINAL LAWYER FRANCIS FIsHER KANE' No one can read the delightfully interesting book on the life of Sir Edward Marshall Hall2 without being continually impressed by the wide difference in social standing between the barrister accustomed to trying cases in the English criminal courts and the criminal lawyer in the United States. The Englishman may go daily into the criminal courts, and take the most unsavory of briefs; he may represent de- fendants for whom the public has not a particle of sympathy, defend- ants against whom a violent public sentiment exists, and yet, if he be an able and honorable man, he may do all this without the slightest loss of social prestige. He may live and die an honored member of the Bar, with the respect of the bench, and indeed of the entire community. The division of the profession into barristers and solici- tors no doubt helps to make this possible, for it separates the barrister from his clients and keeps him from coming into contact with them except as may be necessary in the preparation of cases for trial. -

Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} the Magnificent Spilsbury
Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Magnificent Spilsbury and the Case of the Brides In the Bath by Jane Robins The Magnificent Spilsbury And The Brides In The Bath: Jane Robins. Or so it seemed until a newspaper report linking two of the deaths aroused suspicion and a police investigation revealed that all three men were one and the same, a self-important fellow named George Joseph Smith who admitted bigamy and deception but denied murder. Thereafter, at Smith’s trial for the murder of one of the women, the young forensic scientist Bernard Spilsbury was called as an expert witness and jousted with Edward Marshall Hall, the pre-eminent jury advocate in capital cases. The author and publishers are plainly hoping to emulate the success of Kate Summerscale’s 2008 bestseller The Suspicions Of Mr Whicher: Or The Murder At Road Hill House. While that book linked a sensational murder case from the 1860s with the genesis of detective fiction, Robins links these three murders with the genesis of forensic science in Britain and the man who was to become its legendary exemplar for over 30 years, Bernard (later Sir Bernard) Spilsbury. She also locates these crimes against women in the context of the social and sexual mores of the 1910s. The story is not just a compelling read but is also an intriguing slice of social history. Smith had been preying on women since 1898, usually plain respectable girls of meek dispositions, who were approaching the age when permanent spinsterhood beckoned. Posing as a small businessman he insured the lives of his three victims and ensured they made their wills.
