“BLACK MAGIC” CASE MENTIONED

APPLICATION IN THE HIGH COURT

The recent “Black Magic” libel action in which Mr. Aleister Crowley, the author, was the plaintiff, was mentioned in the King’s Bench Division yesterday.

Mr. A. Reade applied to Mr. Justice Swift for certain papers now in the custody of the court to be handed over to the prosecution in a case now before the magistrate at Marylebone. He explained that Mr. Crowley had been arrested and charged with receiving the papers referred to.

Mr. Justice Swift ordered that the documents should be handed over to the solicitor, Mr. Edward F. Iwi, instructing counsel, on his giving an undertaking to return them to the court.
