Sir, - Your report (December 2nd) on the courtroom scenes in the C case reflected the quiet dignity of the pre-execution sitting. It was then over to the health board's professionals to see justice done. And done quickly. This was healing. This was life-saving. "With due regard for the equal right . . ." how does it go?
Tuba mirum spargens sonum Per sepulchra regionum Coget omnes ante thronum. Nonsense! The Courts are our judges. It is the will of the people. Pull yourself together, lad, this is 1997. And it's very nearly over. - Yours, etc.,
