COURT AUDIENCE OF JUDGES.
AMERICA LEARNING FROM ENGLAND.
LESSON IN SPEED.
The Lord Chief Justice (Lord Hewart), Mr. Justice Avory, and Mr. Justice Branson, in scarlet robes and wigs, presided over the business of the Court of Criminal Appeal recently in front of a pro- fessional audience of fifty American judges and barristers,
Speed," said Mr. Robert Alex- ander Hefner, justier of the Sup reme Court of Oklahoma, "' is some- thing you folks understand. You chapa got through more work thera this morning than we could do in a week."
Lord Hewart, in the great red- leather armchair, sit between his brother judges. Mr. Justice Avory was on his right and Mr. Justice Branson on his left, peering out from under white bushy eyebrows. He rose from his scat from time to time to hold a dignified, whispered, three-cornered consultation..
Row upon row of judges and law. yers from the United States sat before them, some making notes, others almost statuesque in wrapt attention, following every mave, every stage of procedure, every word, as the business of the court went on.
Four English prototypes of the American car bandits stood in the dock between two warders to hear the result of their appeal against n sentence of three years' penal servitude.
Fineteen Burglaries.
"These men," said Lord Hewart, slowly, reading from, pagers before bim, "have committed nineteen bur- glaries between May, 20 and June 1. The sentence is important, for in each case they used a motor-car- a rapidly growing form of erime that is a definite.menace.",
He dealt with each man in turn, The youngest, a youth of nineteen, was sent to Borstal for three years instead of to prison.
"The length of time this young man remains there will depend en- tirely on himself. In any case, it cannot be longer than three years."
The next, a young man of twenty- three, had his penal senterice re- duced to twelve months' imprison- ment. The third was sentenced to fifteen months with hard labour. The sentence of the last man, thirty- five years of age, who was called "the ringleader," was allowed to stand.
Thus, these four men will be released at different times," said "Lord Hewart," a thing that is"dezit- able.",
The appeal was over in ten I minutes, and the next man, an habitual criminal, who had spent more than forty of his sixty years of life in prison, came before the court.
Where You Beat Us." *That's where you beat us,” said Judge
Hefner from Oklahoma. "That gang started work at the end of May. They were arrested at the beginning of June, tried, convicted, sentenced, and the appeal is over in July.
"Why," he said, with "obvious wonder,
years."
"it" would take us three
There was no doubt that, the judges sitting on appeal, were fully aware of their audience and their koen examination of every stage of the court procedure. Rarely has a court been so quiet, seldom has there been so little delay, and no court has ever looked more awesome and more colourful.
"We do not use gowns and wigs out in Oklahoma," shid. Judge Hefner, but they sure look fine. I like the way the attorneys are dress- ed, too,
We gotta change out thefe, and I want to learn how you peoplo manage things the way you do.'
The party of American judges and barristers will spend some time in England studying the procedure of English courts. They will visit France and Italy as well. All of them come from seven States in the Middle West of America.
"When we go back," one of them suid, we've got something to tell those folks at home.'
