WELL , I NEVER KNEW THAT................

Seeing justice done

THE TIMES

17^th JUNE , 1983

From Mr. Paul Drury

 Sir, I trust that the Old Bailey authority has blushed to read Mr. Neill Monaghan's letter (June 7) rightly claiming that the famous statue of Justice thereon is not blindfolded. Yet this body has remained blind to the fact that upon the plinth of a monument under their surveillance some wanton hand has inscribed (c. 1974) an "I" between my father's name "A. DRURY" and "R.A. 1913". Are others to go on grinning while this splendid statue bears it?

Yours faithfully,

 PAUL DRURY.

Uckfield, Sussex.
