IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT
' ATTACK ON THE JUDICIARY. MR. CHURCHILL CENSORED. By cable.—Press Association.—Copyright London, May 31. In the House of Commons, Mr. Emmott, Deputy-Speaker, replying to a question, said that he had consulted precedents and found that an attack on the general body of judges was out of order. (Unionist cheers). Regarding Sir. Churchill's remarks, the .argument was that judges, owing to their training and social surroundings, were unconsciously biassed in connection with certain class questions. "Had I been appealed to yesterday," continued Mr! Emmott, "I should have been inclined to say I regretted an obswvation which touched on the border line of what is in order. In matters of this kind it is most important that the rules against attacking judges should be observed." .(Unionist cheers). Mr. Emmott added that as the judges were not there, and were unable to answer forlhemsclves, they should not be attacked except on special motions. The incident is now closed.
