JUDGE HAS

Cancelled Assize Court

THE 200,000 people of Huntingdonshire and Cam- bridgeshire have been so law-abiding for the past few months that they have earned two pairs of white gloves and two days' holiday for their assize judge, Mr. Justice Humphreys.

For the first time under the Administration of Justice Act 1938, Mr. Justice Humphreys cancelled the Huntingdon As- sizes, because there Was "no substantial amount of business to be transacted."

So Mr. Justice Humphreys had no pesize court work for two days.

Mr. J. B. Kelly, Clerk of the Peace and Under Sheriff of Huntingdon, said: "There has been virtually no crime in this district for months. We have very little crime at any time, and then it in chiefly motor-car offences."
