Justice is Divine, The point I want to emphasise by this little digression into history is simply that the oath came into our Judicial system as an assertion of the principle that justice is divine. Is this principle any less valuable to-day?
The Royal Arma over the judge's | head remind the witness that behind the Court is the authority of the King. Is it not well to remind him also that the Law claims the: authority of God?
The respect that we all feel for a court of justice cannot be separated from the solemnity of its proceed- ings. The judge's robes are a part of that solemnity, and do not fail of their impressive effect; there is no reason why the oath should not be equally solemn. The gabbling can be, and should be, stopped.
