HC Deb 21 November 1912 vol 44 cc516-7W
Sir JOHN JARDINE

asked, with regard to the appointments of chief justices and judges of the High Courts in India, how many have been appointed on the qualification of advocate at the Scottish Bar during the present century; and when the last appointment on such qualification was made?

Mr. H. BAKER

No chief justice or judge of an Indian High Court has since the 1st January, 1901, been appointed on the qualification of advocate of the Scottish Bar, and it would not be possible, without disproportionate research, to state positively when the last appointment of the kind was made.
