Arthur Rees, instructor in political

Mr.. Rees opposed the capture OF mer,

she does this to protect the very few.

Mr.. Rees advocates State monopoly

magistrates book as a signal regarding
the disposition OF cases. The letter 90"
meant that the prisoner should be held.

simply used as designation marks so
that he could keep track OF the cases

he had never been approached by Lieu
