break brought him great nation
al acclaim, and, soon thereafter,
he was both Iknighted and raised
to the high bench.
The savage outbreak made Eng
land a bit jittery, as such occur
rences are rare there. Sir Hubert,
a penologist as well as lawyer and
judge, is a stern symbol of authori-

jail and more watchful keepers.

and politician, and, as . Judge,

which the British additionally
like. Lawyers could find no holes
in his decisions.
