Tales from A Palm Court

by Ronnie Knox-Mawer

Overview

In the sunset years of British colonial rule, the territories administered by HM Overseas Judiciary became scattered and distant, places of exotic culture and intemperate climate. Yet it remained the duty of the circuit judges to maintain the standards of British justice. Ronnie Knox Mawer was one of that intrepid band, armed only with a set of legal encyclopædias and the traditional robes of his office.
