This strange legal procedure, used as recently as 1936, brings the accused into the presence of other members of the Upper House, all wearing their formal robes, to hear the charges against him. The proceecungs are colorful but they proved irksome to a distinguished statesman like Viscount Simon, who said in the Lords recently that the court-termed "The Court of the Lord High Steward" was a "preposterous anachronism."

But he hasn't been idle since its collapse. At the end of 1939, his government sent him to China, then to Tokyo. Eventually he went to London as chief of the taxation section of the Polish ministry of finance and director of the research department in the inland revenue administration. Then the Polish government ended Its days and he was out of a job again.
