New Type of Rigging. Shamrock V. will be Bermudian rigged, tall in the mast, no bows-" prit, and the main boom level with the counter. This will be a depar- ture from the usual sail plan of British yachts which carry a mach larger sailspread than the new yes- sel, which will reply upon the shape rather than the area of the anil plan. The modern idea is that the sails should be of great height, but narrow in breadth, based on the idea of the wings of swift flying birds.

INDIAN JUDGE CENSURED.

CRITICISMS SHOULD BE

MADE TEMPERATELY."

A severe censure on an unnamed judge of the High Court at Madras was passed by a Judicial Commit- tee of the Privy Council in a judg-" ment given recently in an appeal against a decision of that court.

Lord Atkin, who delivered judg ment, said

Their lordships regret that they' cannot leave "this case without ad- verting to the judgment of one of the learned Judges in the (Madras) High Court, who allowed himself to say of the judgment of the subor dinate Judge that from beginning. to end it was full of mis-statements and special pleading.

The learned Judge did not pro- ered to specify any of the alleged mis-statements; and counsel for the respondent was unable to refer their lordships to any,

Their lordships feel bound. to express disapproval of judical oriti-- pism couched in such a form. It is, no doubt, the right and the duty of an Appellate Judge to míticine fear.
