Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Friday, 13 April 1934
Case violated by collapse of Swift and Nina [Nina Hamnett].[1]
General joy—the consternation of Constable and Co and co.
1—Crowley loses his libel case against Nina Hamnett and her book Laughing Torso which continues today in the King's Bench Division before Mr. Justice Swift and a special jury. The Judge concludes that "I have never heard such dreadful, horrible, blasphemous, and abominable stuff than which has been produced by the man who describes himself as the greatest living poet."
