OLD BAILEY QUEUES. POLICE AND THE SELLING OF PLACES.
The Times | December 15, 1922 At a meeting of the City of London Corporation yesterday, Mr. Leo Taylor asked if steps could not be taken in the future to prevent the long waiting queues and the selling of places which characterized the admission of the public to the Central Criminal Court at a recent trial .
Colonel Dunfee, chairman of the Police Committee, said it would not be in the public interest unduly to restrict the attendance of the public at trials at the Old Bailey. He did not know that queues could be prevented if people were willing to wait and were orderly. The selling of places was an objectionable innovation, which the Commissioner of Police was considering with a view to its suppression.
