	LORD JUSTICE CLERK (SCOTLAND) - LoveToKnow Article on LORD JUSTICE CLERK (SCOTLAND) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The justice clerk was originally not a judge at all, but simply clerk and legal assessor of the justice court.
		Up to 1672 his position was somewhat anomalous, as it was doubtful whether he was a clerk or a judge, but an act of that year, which suppressed the office of justice-depute, confirmed his position as a judge, forming him, with the justice-general and five of the lords of session into the court of justiciary.
		The lord justice clerk is also one of the officers of state for Scotland, and one of the commissioners for keeping the Scottish Regalia.

	Lord Justice Clerk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Lord Justice Clerk is the second most senior Judge in Scotland, behind the Lord President of the Court of Session.
		Originally clericus justiciarie or Clerk to the Court of Justiciary, the counterpart in the criminal courts of the Lord Clerk Register, the status of the office increased over time and the Justice-Clerk came to claim a seat on the Bench by practice and custom.
		This was recognised by the Privy Council of Scotland in 1663 and the Lord Justice-Clerk became the effective head of the reformed High Court of Justiciary in 1672 when the court was reconstituted.

		Had my lord been talkative, the truce could never have subsisted; but he was by fortune in one of his humours of sour silence; and under the very guns of his broadside, Archie nursed the enthusiasm of rebellion.
		My lord and he had met and parted in the morning as they had now done for long, with scarcely the ordinary civilities of life; and it was plain to the son that nothing had yet reached the father's ears.
		Lord Hermiston was coarse and cruel; and yet the son was aware of a bloomless nobility, an ungracious abnegation of the man's self in the man's office.

		The ratio of that case was that the second charge was irrelevant because it merely charged the accused with the preparation for and not with the perpetration of a crime.
		I read the Lord Justice Clerk as reserving his opinion upon the matter of whether in the circumstances of that case the completed act or an actual attempt would have constituted a crime.

		HE Lord Justice-Clerk was a stranger in that part of the country; but his lady wife was known there from a child, as her race had been before her.
		Her great-great-grandfather had drawn the sword against the Lord's anointed on the field of Rullion Green, and breathed his last (tradition said) in the arms of the detestable Dalyell.
		There was one influence she feared for the child and still secretly combated; that was my lord's; and half unconsciously, half in a wilful blindness, she continued to undermine her husband with his son.

		Although it is not possible to know whether either of these reports was revised by the Lord Justice Clerk in 1913, I am inclined to the view that the revised version is that which employs the word "assuming".
		In my opinion, however, Lord Salvesen is not in that passage expressing any concluded view that if the accused had completed the act or made an actual attempt, that would have been a crime accordingly to the law of Scotland.
		In that case Lord Salvesen stated at page 113 that it was not a crime for an employee who had authorised access to his employer's records, to make copies thereof even if he was demonstrably preparing himself to do his employer a wrong.

	Weir of Hermiston - CHAPTER II
		In the childish maladies with which the boy was troubled, he would make daily inquiries and daily pay him a visit, entering the sick-room with a facetious and appalling countenance, letting off a few perfunctory jests, and going again swiftly, to the patient's relief.
		The son turned in his head for some topic that should be quite safe, that would spare him fresh evidences either of my lord's inherent grossness or of the innocence of his inhumanity; treading gingerly the ways of intercourse, like a lady gathering up her skirts in a by-path.
		If he made a mistake, and my lord began to abound in matter of offence, Archie drew himself up, his brow grew dark, his share of the talk expired; but my lord would faithfully and cheerfully continue to pour out the worst of himself before his silent and offended son.

		The relationship between Archie and his father (a finely disguised mix of RLS' father and Lord Braxfield- whose portrait actually appears on the cover), is perhaps one of the most interesting features.
		Christina or Kirstie (the younger one) appears part way through and although she is obviously going to be a major character in the novel disappears (because the MS cuts off) at just the least appropriate time.
		The main feature of the plot is the relationship between Lord Hermiston, a judge renowned for his stringency, and his more liberal (but still fairly well-behaved) son.
