Throughout the British colonies in the nineteenth century, judges
were expected not only to administer law and justice, but also to
play a significant role within the governance of their
jurisdictions. 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.
