HC Deb 04 April 1905 vol 144 c298
MR. CHARLES HOBHOUSE (Bristol, E.)

To ask the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs for what reason the title of Chief Justice has been taken away from the Judge at the head of the British Supreme Court at Shanghai; and whether, in view of the importance attached to the title by British residents in China, the former appellation can be restored.

(Answered by Earl Percy.) I would refer the hon. Member to the Answer given to the Member for the Barnsley Divison of Yorkshire on the 23rd † ultimo.
