to learn the details of the affair which
brought the former assistant COM
missioner Of police into the hands Of
the man he formerly commanded.
The couple, who are out on bail, were
to have appeared In court for exani-
nation last Monday. They failed,
however, to come into court, and the
case has been postponed until Jan

the newspapers investigating TOO
closely into the charges against Sir
Basil and the de Lava woman, but all
of them publish the circumstances of
the arrest.
Sir Basi's retirement from Scotland
