Over
my years on the bench I have been convinced by what I have seen and
heard that nowhere is there a more
politically correct organisation. That
having been said I would have thought that all participants, professional and
lay, would always apply a virtual five second delay to any remarks made in the
retiring room and certainly those made from the bench. I was wrong!
The crass remarks of Deputy District Judge Richard Terrence Peter
Hollingworth are almost beyond belief. What is of some interest is that the
incident took place in October yet appeared only this weekend in the public
press.
I SPRANG to the stirrup, and Joris, and
he;
I gallop’d, Dirck gallop’d, we gallop’d
all three;
“Good speed !” cried the watch, as the
gate-bolts undrew;
“Speed!” echoed the wall to us galloping
through;
Behind shut the postern, the lights sank
to rest,
And into the midnight we gallop’d
abreast.
