MAIDEN COURT AT KILMARNOCK

For the fourth occasion in about 40 years there were no cases on a Monday morning at Kilmarnock Police Court, and yesterday Bailie G. P. M. Park, the presiding Magistrate, and Mr James Wyllie, the Assessor, were each presented with white gloves.

Chief Constable Cameron said that this unusual circumstance was all the more notable when they recollected that one of the greatest strikes in British history was still in progress. It afforded him the opportunity of saying that there never was a labour dispute so free from crime.

[Maiden Courts, which are effectively scheduled courts at which there are no cases to answer, are, of course, very rare, and this tradition of the police presenting, usually only the presiding Judge, Sheriff, or Magistrate with white gloves, exists. I have no knowledge of such an event ever occurring in the Threetowns where they had scheduled Burgh, Justice of the Peace, and Juvenile Courts.]
