Reports were current om uly 16 to the effect that fore was going to be used during the day by agents of the Kiangsu Provincial Government to evict Judge Loo Hsing-yuan from the Presidency: of the Shanghai Provisional Court.
However, up to the time of writ ing, ne such attempt had been made, When interviewed on July 16 by a representative of the "North-China Daily News", Judge Loo stated that he had received a copy of the Judgment of the Committee for the Disciplinary Ppnishment of Judicial Officers, but that he did not agree with it and so he was going to continue his fight.
An Accuser Made Judge In the first place, Judge Loo sai the Committee was not properly constituted. The law called for six members and a chairman but actually it consisted only of six men. In the second place, he point fed out that his protest against the inclusion of Mr, Chen Ho-hsien on the committee had been ignored. The Committee should first have heard his plea in this connection before proceeding with the judgment but, instead of doing this, Chen Ho-hsien, who had been one of those who had impeached him (Judge Loo), w placed on the Committee, in a position to act as one of his judges. A man who had accused him had adjudged him and had found him guilty!
"Twill not recognize the judgment and I, will certainly not accept it, because it is, in my opinion, null and. void," said Judge Loo most emphatically. "How can an improperly constituted committee make decision? This is a legal point, which must be solved. I am not going to yield. If the committee is properly constituted, then, of course, it will be another matter.
