The small Commission appointed by Mr. Asquith to inquire into

the Featherstone riots was named on Tuesday. It is to consist of Lord Bowen, Sir A. Rollit, and Mr. Haldane. A better selection could not have been made, and if we get a clear and authoritative statement of the law in regard to rioting, as well as a report on the facts signed by so great a master of the Common Law as Lord Bowen, the country will have every reason to be grateful.
