Case papers from the K.B. division in the High Court of Justice and H.M. Court of Appeal (England) in the House of Lords relating to the claim for damages brought by Wernher Beit & Co. against Arthur Basil Markham 1901-1902. 6 items printed.

The action was one of slander arising out of a speech made by Markham in which he accused Wernher, Beit & Co., of being 'thieves and swindlers'. Subsequently he tried to produce evidence that there had been bribery and corruption in the company's dealings with the South African Republic and that the company had helped to incite the Jameson Raid for their own ends.
