“HIS MAJESTY!”
A SLIP IN COURT. JUDGE’S TITLE ELEVATED. MISTAKE BY ORDERLY. The police constable who was on duty as orderly in the Court of Arbitration in Wellington elevated the title of Mr. Justice O’Regan. When the judge enters for the first sitting of the day it is the duty of the Court orderly to call out: “Silence for his Honour tho King’s Judge!” and everyone present in Court stands until the judge is seated.
On Tuesday of last week the Court orderly went one better. As Mr. Justice O’Regan entered the court-room the orderlv took a swift look at those
in Court and called out: “Silence for his Majesty the Judge!”
If his Honour noticed the slip he
did not show it
