Lord Snooker
Sporting Times, Saturday 15 March 1913
Pharisee.—The story runs that once upon a time the news editor of the defunct “Echo” was hard put to it to find something hot for the contents bill of the “extra special” then on the point of going to press, till, chancing to look at the tape, he read the remarks of Lord Snooker, who, addressing the Upper Chamber that afternoon, had asserted that the “haste with which the noble Earl, Lord Shaftesbury , was endeavouring to hurry this Bill through their lordships’ House was—er— positively indecent” That gave the scribe the necessary stimulus, and that night the placards affirmed that Lord Shaftesbury had been ” charged with indecency in the House of Lords.”
