§ 19.—III. The Judges.

Next to the Governor, the great Officers, Guardians and Administrators of the Law, are the Chief Justice and the other Judges of the Supreme Court, called Puisne Judges of the Court, that is, of the Court wherein sit the Jury. These Judges are appointed by The Queen and by the page V Governor under Her authority, and are selected from among the lawyers, whose business is the study of the Law. From among these lawyers are the Judges chosen, men of great knowledge and of strict integrity.
