British authorities were consequently concerned about judges' loyalty to the Crown, and on occasion removed or suspended those who were found politically subversive or personally difficult. Even reasonable and well balanced judges were sometimes threatened with removal. Using the career histories of judges who challenged the system, Dewigged, Bothered, and Bewildered illuminates issues of judicial tenure, accountability, and independence throughout the British Empire. John McLaren closely examines cases of judges across a wide geographic spectrum - from Australia to the Caribbean, and from Canada to Sierra Leone - who faced disciplinary action. These riveting stories provide helpful insights into the tenuous position of the colonial judiciary and the precarious state of politics in a variety of British colonies"--Provided by publisher. 410 0$aOsgoode Society for Canadian Legal History series. 606 $aJudges$zGreat Britain$xColonies$xDiscipline 606 $aJudges$xDismissal of$xColonies$zGreat Britain 607 $aGreat Britain$xColonies$xAdministration$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aJudges$xColonies$xDiscipline. 615 0$aJudges$xDismissal of$xColonies 676 $a347.41014 700 $aMcLaren$b John$f1940-$01642953 712 02$aOsgoode Society for Canadian Legal History. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813672703321 996 $aDewigged, bothered, and bewildered$94050662 997 $aUNINA
