County Court Judges are personages of great eminence and distinction.

At any rate it is not for me to say otherwise. And they must be treated as such. Respect for a- County Court Judge is evidenced by funereal tints. To appear before a County Court Judge without a dark suit on is no better than appearing without a suit at all. His Honour Judge G. Kirkstone Jenkins made that clear at Warminster on Monday when he sent a solicitor in a light suit home to change and adjourned the Court for a quarter of an hour for the purpose. Then all was well. Before enthroned justice dressed in a little brief authority stood a solicitor dressed in navy blue. Justice is sometimes said to be blind ; it is not even colour-blind.
