RIBBLESDALE
(Thomas Lister, 1854-1925, from 1876 4th Baron, Politician and Master of the Buckhounds)
Autograph Letter Signed to Mr BUCKLE
(George Earl, 1854-1935, Prominent Journalist and Editor of the Times from 1884 to 1912) saying that “tomorrow night I am going to call attention to the protracted imprisonment of Zobehr Pasha at Gibraltar without trial or investigation. My motive is to arouse public attention, and to direct it to the circumstances of a case which seems to be almost entirely forgotten. A speech in the House Lords, without the assistance of a fairly full report in the ‘Times’ is for such an object, wholly lost. I venture therefore to ask you to give instructions to your reporter to ventilate my case as fully as the exigencies of the news of the day and of your own obligations to others will permit - apologising for troublin you...” with a postscript that “Mr Gladstone himself encouraged me most kindly to bring forward this question in the Hse of Lords...”, 4 sides 8vo., 35 Grosvenor Square, Sunday no year but circa
