As barrister to Brooks, Barnes would need to be in court when the verdict was announced, not in his flat.

Tommy Bold: You wouldn't see a poor old bloke what's coughin' hisself into an early grave without giving him a trifle, now would you eh?
Eustace Ede: Begging is a criminal offence. Be off with you and kindly leave by the tradesman's entrance or I'll give you in charge.
Tommy Bold: And you call yourself a gentleman!

Forgotten way of life

THE WARE CASE is one of those murky country house potboilers that were all the rage throughout the 1930s, and even a brief train interlude fails to liven things up very much. The story involves an aristocrat, played by Clive Brook, getting into hot walker that involves his irritating brother in law, but when the latter is found murdered he ends up accused. Part courtroom thriller, part sedate romantic drama, this only really springs to life in the last ten minutes and at that point it's far too little, too late. As usual the depiction of a forgotten way of life is the most interesting aspect of this one, similar to that parodied in Wodehouse novels.
