SIR WILLIAM CLARKE HALL [To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR.]

SIR,—I am co-operating with Lady Clarke Hall in the production of a Memoir of the late Sir William Clarke Hall, well known for his work as a London magistrate and pioneer of Children's Courts. It will be of great assistance if any who possess letters from him, or other material throwing light on his private or public life, will kindly send them to me on loan as soon as

convenient.—Yours faithfully, STEPHEN HOBHOUSE. Failand, Broxbourne, Hens.
