Abstract
- An encyclopedia entry for "spare trousers" is presented. It features Rayner Goddard, Lord Chief Justice of England in 1946, who is portrayed as a law student who failed his bar exams five times, a judge who supported corporal punishment, and a pervert who ejaculated when he pronounced a death sentence, requiring his clerk, Arthur Harris, to bring a spare pair of trousers to court. Other Lord Chief Justices who were considered worthless political appointees are mentioned including Sir William de Thorpe, Robert Tresilian and Judge Jeffries.
