JUDGES IN RAGS. DEPLORABLE CONDITION OF THE AUSTRIAN BENCH.

Dr. Friedrich Engel, the President of the Commercial Court and of the Union of Judges, has resigned the latter position, which he held for nearly ten years. To day the average monthly income of the judges is from £8 to £3. It is true that there are certain judges in the highest pusitions who enjoy about double that in- come, but many receive even much less than the average in an article Dr. Engel, des cribes the misery among judges. There are cases in which, together with their wives and children, they suffer hunger; there are also sees of clothes literally fall ing to pieces, so that a benefactor had to dress one judge from head to foot. In an other instance a judge could not send his little daughter to school, because she had to nurse his badly-ailing wife, and thes were unable to afford other help.

The Australian judge are the only divi employés not supplied with their official robes by the State. Thus they are fre quently obliged to sit in poor, old, and torn gowes, which is, of course, dispar

to their authority. In cons.quence of the hostile attitude of officialism to wards the judges and their precarious position, they are in a mood detrimental to their vocation, It is their greatest pride that, despite all their misery, they have remained inaccessible to corruption. Dr. Engel resigned his Presidency because he found it Incompatible with his con victions to have to witness the passive allitude of the Government.
