Prelude to the Bench?

On the eve of the opening of the winter, assizés I hear that Mr. Stephen Henn Collins, K.G., is to be a commissioner of assize on one of the circuits.

This follows on the news of the appointment as commissioner of Mr. Malcolm Hilbery, KC.

"The inference is not unnaturally being drawn that one if not both of these prominent counsel will exchange the silk robe, for scarlet and ermine should Parliament finally decide to add to the num- ber of King's Bench judges.

A commissionership was, at 'one time almost as certain a prelude to the bench as being a Treasury counsel or a Law Officer.

City, London writes a home paper.

"Silver Jubilee Fair is not s ruere catch-phrase. There are two reasons why no other words could so adequately describe "BIF 1935," The first is that the King will, it is hoped, visit the Fair, and so perform what might be called his first Silver function Although the Queen and other members of the Royal Family have paid many visits to recent Fairs, the King has not been able to do so for several years.

The second reason is that most of the 1,550 exhibitors at Olympia and the White City have set them- selves to make this a Silver Jubilee Fair not in name only, but also in colour and in invention,
