Indecent Publications Tribunal

In the matter of the Indecent Publications Act 1963 and in
the matter of an application by Hicks Smith and Sons Ltd.,
in respect of two books Nexus and Plexus both by Henry
Miller.

DECISION OF THE TRIBUNAL

THE tribunal has been called upon to consider an application
made by Hicks Smith and Sons Ltd.—with the consent of the
Minister of Justice—in respect of two books, Nexus and
Plexus by Henry Miller—whether they are indecent or not, or
alternatively for a decision as to the classification of each.

At the hearing we were informed that the Secretary for
Justice did not desire to make any submissions; there was no
appearance on behalf of the applicant.

We have considered both these books. Each is a hard back
edition to be sold for something over one pound. We are not
prepared to hold either to be indecent or to make any
restriction on their sale. Each is a serious work by an author
who has written much and has defined his attitude as loving
the world of human beings wretched, botched and horrible
though it may be. There are passages which might offend
some readers but we not think we should be warranted in
condemning either as indecent.

We accordingly hold that neither book is indecent in terms
of the Indecent Publications Act.

K. M. GRESSON, Chairman.
