Appeal on behalf of the National Children's Home and Orphanage, by Bob Arnold (Tom Forrest of ' The Archers ')
Contributions (preferably by crossed postal order or cheque) will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to Bob Arnold. Esq[address removed]
The National Children's Home and Orphanage has received more than 41,000 needy children since its foundation ninety-two years ago. It seeks to meet a great human problem, which is evidenced by the fact that last year there were 1,317 applications for admission. The Home has forty branches which, together with its foster homes, care for a family of more than 3,000 boys and girls. Much of its work is remedial and specialised.

A series of portraits of outstanding members of the English Bar by Lord Birkett
3: Sir Edward Clarke , K.C.
1841-1931
Edward Clarke retired from the Bar in 1914, the year after Norman Birkett was called. Outstanding perhaps among his great cases was his defence of Adelaide Bartlett in 1886, when the jury's verdict of Not Guilty was received with tremendous acclaim both inside the Old Bailey and outside in the surrounding streets. And he will long be remembered for his part in the trials of Oscar Wilde, where his loyalty to his client in adverse circumstances was worthy of the highest traditions of the English Bar.
