§ Mr. David Adamsasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware that a Jerusalem lawyer appearing before the Privy Council must wear a wig and gown, but that in the Jerusalem courts the English judge presiding alone wears a wig, whilst the Hebrew judge must be bare-headed and the Arab judge may wear a tarbush; why English judges alone are privileged to wear wigs; and whether, as this distinction between English and native judges detracts from the dignity of the court and suggests to litigants some inferiority in the latter judges, he will cause all judges in the Jerusalem courts to wear wigs?
§ Colonel StanleyI have consulted the High Commissioner for Palestine with regard to these representations, and I will communicate to my hon. Friend in due course the result of my inquiry.
