Black SIX Gowns for Judges.

Mr. Pitcher, of Fauquier, has introduced a
resolution in the Legislature requiring the
Judges of the Supreme Court, when sitting
Judges, to wear black silk gowns, and to ap
propriate one hundred dollars to purchase
them. If it is the purpose to add to the dig
nifty of the court by adopting the style Of
colonial times the resolution should be
amended so as to require the judges to veal
powdered wigs with long queus, shad-bellied
coats, long waistcoats with large flaps ever
the pockets, knickerbocker pants, black hose
with silver buckles on the carriers, and slip
pers with silver buckles, and make the ap
preparation five hundred dollars to pay fol
the outfit With simply black silk gowns
our Court of Appeal judges would not be hall
dressed, and they would feel Inundated
DO our judges of the Court of Appeals need
black silk gowns to add to their dignity
Then it would seem to follow, a fortiori, that
the judges of the City, County, and Circuit
Courts should wear them. with deeper dye
of black, and with more amplitude of pro
portions and increase of the ample folds that
impart classic grace and judicial dignity
Dress all the judges up becomingly. So say
