Judge Insults Lawyer
GRAVE INCIDENT IN CHINA National Feeling Feared DEPUTY QUICKLY LEAVES BENCH A GRAVE incident which might produce feeling between Great Britain and China occurred at Shanghai when a youthful Chinese judge insulted a British lawyer. The incident has been reported to Britain.
United P.A.—By Telegraph—Copyright Reed. 11.40 a.m. SHANGHAI, Tues. An international incident will probably arise as a consequence of unwarranted and insulting remarks addressed by Provincial Court Judge, Yang Chao Lung, a newly-appointed youthful member of the Chinese judiciary, to a lawyer, Blumfield Brown, a prominent British practitioner and a member of one of the oldest legal firms. At a civil hearing, Judge Yang
called Brow* dull-witted, dishonest, I clumsy and foolish. ! This caused British Consular i Deputy Herbert, who is still eligible ;to preside at the Provincial Court pending the commencement of a new agreement, to vacate the Bench instantly, following a carefully repeated translation of the judge’s remarks. The incident is regarded locally as an unhappy augury to the future success of the Provincial Court. Deputy Herbert is officially reporting the incident. Judge Yang declares he is ready ; to fight Brown to a finish.
