Let l → R → F → G → l be a presentation of the finite non‐trivial group G with finitely generated free group F . Then G acts by conjugation on the Lie ring r = ⊕ c ⩽ 1 γ c R /γ c +1 R (γ c R is the c th term of the lower central series of R ), which is free of finite rank by the classical result of Magnus and Witt. In this note the Lie subring of r consisting of all G ‐invariant elements is shown to be free with infinite free generating set.
