Jasper County Democrat, Volume 2, Number 17, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 August 1899 — Connecticut Judges to Wear Gowns. [ARTICLE]

Connecticut Judges to Wear Gowns.

A committee of Judges from the Supreme Court of Errors and from the , Superior Court, consisting of Judge Baldwin, Judge Robinson, and Judge Prentice, have been at work for some little time revising the rules of court procedure, and at a meeting of the Judges in this city printed slips of the revision, some 150 rules, were distributed and the tenative scheme was commented upon, but not adopted. The revision provides, among other things referring to the court, that all Judges of the Supreme and Superior Courts shall wear gowns while presiding at a term of court, and that the sheriff and deputies of all the counties, in attendance upon court, shall wear a prescribed uniform, probably similar to those that are worn in the Hartford County Court.—Hartford (Conn.)
