British authorities were consequently concerned about judges' loyalty to the Crown, and on occasion removed or suspended those who were found politically subversive or personally difficult. Even reasonable and well balanced judges were sometimes threatened with removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing the career histories of judges who challenged the system, \u003cem\u003eDewigged, Bothered, and Bewildered \u003c\/em\u003eilluminates issues of judicial tenure, accountability, and independence throughout the British Empire.
