COURT ETIQUETTE.—In the Insolvent Debtors' Court,
on Wednesday, the following interlude was acted, as appears
by a report in the daily papers the course of the morn-
ing Mr. Woodroffe, finding the heat most oppressive, di-
vested himself of his wig; and this innovation upon the
forms of the court and the usage of the bar soon attracted
the attention and observation of the chief commissioner,
Reynolds. Mr. Woodroffe regretted that he should be
liable to the animadversion of the court, but it he had
inadvertently been guilty of an offence in violating legal
etiquette—perhaps, when he said that he was labouring under
a severe head-ache and inflammation of the eyes, occasioned,
in the opinion of his medical attendant, by the extreme heat
of the court, that might be considered as some apology;
nevertheless, if it was insisted upon, he would wear his
wig, whatever might be the personal pain and incon-
venience he might experience. The learned Chief Com-
missioner made some reply, which was not very audible.
Mr. Woodroffe said that he would appeal to Mr. Hughes
whether, when they were in the Court of Queen's Bench
the other day, the Solicitor-General, some of the Queen's
counsel, and even one or two of the judges themselves, did
not appear without their wigs ? Mr. Hughes acquiesced in
this statement. Mr. Woodroffe begged to say that he had
just been informed by a learned friend (Mr. Cooke), that
when such a departure from legal etiquette took place, the
permission of the presiding judge was always previously
asked and obtained ; but that being a bail-day, and not a
case-day, he had thought that it might have escaped notice;
but he never addressed the court without his wig—(a laugh)
—and should not presume to do so, As soon as the cases
were to be taken he intended to ask formal permission. The
learned Chief Commissioner was content. If such things
were permitted in the superior courts, a precedent was estab-
lished for innovations elsewhere, Mr. Woodroffe availed
himself of the privilege of laying aside the badge of forensic
wisdom during the day.
