SHOCK TO PUBLIC
A WELL-KNOWN FIGURE London, April 26. The tragic death of the famous bachelor judge, whose pronouncements were always read by millions came as a great shock to the public. Newspapers devoted columns to his career. The body was in a sitting position before the fire; he was in waistcoat, dressing gown and slippers, and was wearing no collar. There were no relevant documents found. No more xearless judge ever sat in the judicial bench, nor one more open-minded. He never hesitated to declare that the time had arrived when more and more liberal views were necessary to alleviate some of the existing laws. Speaking at a dinner he declared that fearlessness, honesty and independence on the part of judges was the mainstay of English justice. There were often light moments in his court. He said that a little humour was necessary if an atmosphere of harmony and kindness were to be maintained.
