DAYS WHEN JEWS DO NOT GO TO LAW.
A member of the Hebrew faith, applying for a new trial of a case at Whitechapel County Court, said Jews should not go to court on the eve of the Day of Atonement. Nothing could be worse, he added.
Judge Cluer: There is no discredit in coming to this court.
Applicant informed the judge that It was not proper for Jews to quarrel on the eve or a fast, and to go to court. Judge: It is a contemptible and stupid prejudice on your part. There is nothing wrong in coming here for English justice. If you don't like it. you can simply go to Germany, or Russia, or Poland. The application was refused.
