CLERGY BOO A JUDGE

"CHRISTIAN WAR”

"REMARK

An uproar of hissug and booing from clergymen and others brought. to an end the second day's hearing of cases by the Newcastle Con-

| selentious Objectors' Tribunal.

It greeted Judge Richardson's, the chairman's, remark, “I'm' cer- tain, as sure as I am that I sit here, that if Christ appeared to day he would approve of this war.” FB. Lawson, of Wellsend, whom the judge was questioning, had said-as had several other objec- tors--that if he saw a soldier lying wounded he would not go fohis assistance, though he would he sald, help a civilian.

The remark was hardly one of the judge's mouth, when there was a roar from every part of the crowded room in Newcastle County Court, where the tribunal is sitting. There were present more than 150 clergymen and ministers of all denominations,

It was impossible to make out individual remarks amid the were uproar. Cries of "Order" unheard or unheeded.

SECOND OUTBURST Judge Richardson ruered the court to be cleared and left the Bench, followed by the other mem- ber of the tribunal, Sie Luke Thompson Alderman Frank Nicholson, High Sheriff of Durham County, Mr. W: Westwood, a Trade Union official, and Professor J. F.. Duff Vice-Chancellor of Durham University.

Almost at once the court reas- sembled, but when Judge Richard- son again took his seat he was greeted with a second outburst of resentment at his remarks.

At this stage he said that as those in court would not obey his erders he would adjourn the pro- : ceedings..

Judge Richardson stated later traf he regretted he was "carried away.
