A charge of indecency against her and Sir Leo Chiozza Money was dismissed by magistrates, but she was later detained again and subjected to a five-hour interrogation by male officers.

[2][4] At the time of his arrest, Money protested to the police that he was "a man of substance" and, once in custody, was permitted to telephone the Home Secretary, Sir William Joynson-Hicks.

[2] The two were released and then the Director of Public Prosecutions, Sir Archibald Bodkin suspected police perjury and asked for further investigation.

[1] Savidge was required to show the police her petticoat, whose colour and brevity they duly noted and at a certain point Collins caressed her knee.

[1][7] Savidge complained about her treatment and there followed an adjournment debate in the House of Commons on 17 May 1928, initiated by Labour MP, Tom Johnston.
