     A one-time Beverly Hills lawyer who gave dramatic evidence
in the 1993 Old Bailey trial that acquitted former Guinness
director Tom Ward on theft charges says a forthcoming DTI report
on how Guinness acquired Distillers is "grievously at odds with
facts tested by a jury."  Will Dwyer II, who now is a U.S.
Government congressional counsel in Washington, is making his
dispute public in a novel form, by using cyberspace to publish
the DTI's "private and confidential . . . provisional findings"
about his role. 

     Those who browse there are offered the full text of a 19th
April letter from Dwyer to the DTI inspectors and their "Open by
Addressee Only" letter of 26th March and its 2,000-word
accompanying document that, according to the senders, "is
provided to you on the basis and condition that it . . .is kept
confidential . . . and that it is not disclosed to third parties
or otherwise disseminated or published."

     Dwyer noted that the inspectors' asserted condition of
confidentiality was not binding on him, because it was imposed
unilaterally and not the result of any exchange of promises. 
"Ordinarily, even absent any legal limitation to do so, I might
respect such a request," he said.  "However, when I learned what
these two twits were doing in twisting the truth, as it had been
established to the unanimous satisfaction of a trial jury on
Newgate Street, I could not surrender to any such demand."

     In scolding the inspectors, Dwyer's letter quotes the U.S.
Constitution's guarantee that "no fact tried by a jury shall be
otherwise re-examined in any court of the United States."  He
added, "this DTI reinquiry is the kind of thing we Americans
forbid, based on constitutional protections that sprung
straightaway from abuses at the hands of the British Crown."

     The term, "beggars," in the Internet address came from Glen
L. Roberts, editor of Full Disclosure, the American internet
publication that carries Dwyer's correspondence with the DTI.  He
chose it, according to Dwyer, as a "Shakespearian salute," based
on the line from Henry VI, "beggars mounted run their horse to
death."

There shouldn't always be an England.
