An article IN The Saturday Review has
caused considerable comment among Eng
lsh lawyers. The writer advocates the
passage OF a bill providing for the COM
pulsory retirement Of judges at the age
OF g., or 10 at the latest. and the retire
ment under certain conditions OF Judges
over 50 years of age. Lord Esher. who
pres.des in the court OF appeal, IS 50 years
old: Lord Justice KAY is r. Lord Justice
Lopes Is SIS and Lord Justice Lindley is
81. In the high court of justice several
OF the judges are over 70 years Old. JUS
tee Hawkins is 7s, Baron Pollock is y,
and Judges Day. Chitty, Wills, North and
Mathew are between 90 and 20 years old.
Lord Esher, in spite OF his age. is consid-
cred one OF the most active judicial orlc-
ers in the d.spatching OF business. His
intellect is acute, and except IN physica!
yigor there seems to be no decadance of
his powers. Justice Hawkins also does
full share OF judicial labor, and some
OF the other judges who are above the
limit Of age which The Saturday Review
suggests, are among the most valuable
members of the higher courts: The art-
Gle does not meet with favorable responses
