00:39Enter.
00:46I brought you some coffee, Miss Courtney.
00:48I shall not be wanting it this morning, thank you, Gladys.
00:50I have to be at the court in half an hour.
00:52Tennis court?
00:54Magistrates.
00:55Oh, my goodness. What have you done?
00:58I haven't done anything.
01:00I am on the bench. I am a J.P.
01:03Oh, very nice. Any juicy bits?
01:06I beg your pardon.
01:07Well, you know, like you read in the Sunday papers,
01:10husband finds wife in bed with lover.
01:13No, Claudius.
01:14Just the usual amount of football hooligans and drunken disorderly,
01:17that sort of thing.
01:20Enter.
01:21Thank you, Claudius.
01:23I brought the stockroom keys back.
01:25Well, you'd better hang on to them, Sydney. I shan't want them today.
01:28She's in court.
01:29Court what?
01:31Court!
01:32Magistrates Court.
01:34Go on. Have you been nicked?
01:36I've got a friend of mine to defend you,
01:38and if he can't get you off, he'll bang a few quid to the J.P.
01:41Most of them are bent.
01:43I am a J.P.
01:46I was only joking.
01:48Well, I sincerely hope you were.
01:50I'll see you two tomorrow.
01:52Yeah, well, don't be too hard on anyone, will you?
01:55Remember, a person is innocent until he's proved guilty.
01:58Yes.
01:59Well, I have often thought that should be the other way round.
02:01Well, you should know best.
02:03Oh, I'd hate to come up before her.
02:07Me neither.
02:08With people like her on the bench, no wonder they demolish the death sentence.
02:13Oh!
02:14Oh!
02:25Case number one has been put back until after lunch.
02:28Oh, very well.
02:29Let's get on with it.

02:32Four case number two.
02:33Four case number two.
02:34Good heavens.
02:35Miss Courtney, what are you doing here?
02:36I am the presiding magistrate.
02:37Oh, blimey.
02:38We are being in luck.

02:40Silent in court.
02:41Oh, I take it you know these people, Miss Courtney.

02:51Oh, I take it you know these people, Miss Courtney.

02:57Well, are you sure you won't be prejudiced in their favour?
02:59If I am prejudiced, it certainly won't be in their favour.
03:02Inspector, isn't it a little unusual for the police to bring so many defendants before
03:06the bench at one time?
03:07The dock seems a little overloaded.
03:08The case is rather unusual.
03:09I am the result of the police of the police.
03:10What are you doing here?
03:12I am the presiding magistrate.
03:13Oh, blimey.
03:14We are being in luck.

03:17Silent in court.
03:18Oh, I take it you know these people, Miss Courtney.
03:19I must certainly do.
03:20Well, are you sure you won't be prejudiced in their favour?
03:21If I am prejudiced, it certainly won't be in their favour.
03:24The case is rather unusual, madam.
03:27The accused, though acting individually,
03:30did in fact commit the offences collectively.
03:35I see. What are the charges?
03:38Miss Chung Su Lee and Mr Taro Nagazumi inciting a riot.
03:42I demand diplomatic immunity.
03:44Silence.
03:46Mr Giovanni Coupello and Miss Daniel Favre disturbing the peace.
03:50Mr Ranjit Singh and Mrs Jamila Ranjaf causing an affray.
03:55Please, I'm not understanding what he's meaning.
03:58And I am nobody to understand also, Master Ji.
04:01But he's reading out the charges.
04:03You mean we are having to pay for being here?
04:07More than likely.
04:08Will you please be quiet?
04:10Sorry.
04:11Mr Ali Nadim and Miss Anna Schmidt causing a public nuisance.
04:16Mr Juan Cervantes and Mr Maximilian Papandrios
04:19assaulting a police officer.
04:21He assault us first.
04:23Jane, he hit my fist with his jaw.
04:29Another remark like that, I shall hold you in contempt.
04:33Por favor.
04:33Speak when you are spoken to, Juan.
04:36Sorry, wrong number.
04:38Carry on with the charges.
04:39That's all.
04:40What about Mr Brown?
04:42Oh, I'm not charged with anything.
04:43What are you doing in the dock?
04:45I've come here to speak on their behalf.
04:47He's our mouthpiece.
04:49Sure.
04:50He's going to spring us.
04:55You see, Miss Courtney, there are...
04:56Stop.
04:57You must come down onto the floor of the court
04:59if you wish to address the bench.
05:02Oh, right.
05:07You see, Miss Courtney, there are...
05:08Stop.
05:09I am not Miss Courtney.
05:12Funny.
05:12She looked like Miss Courtney.
05:16You will kindly address me as your honour.
05:18Sorry, Miss Courtney.
05:20Uh, your honour.
05:21But there are mitigating circumstances
05:22and I'm sure that when you've heard what these students have to say,
05:25you will decide to act leniently.
05:27Well, we'll see about that after we have heard the explanation.
05:30Yes.
05:31Well, it all happened last Friday evening after class.
05:33As part of their homework,
05:35I decided to give the students various tasks
05:37to perform, things to do, places to visit.
05:40Sue Lee and Tara, would you tell the court what happened in your case?
05:43Take the stand, please.
05:50Take the book in your right hand and read what's on the cart.
05:53Yes, sir.
05:55I swear by almighty God
05:57that the evidence I shall give shall be the truth.
06:01The whole truth is nothing but the truth.
06:04Take the book in your right hand and...
06:06Are you saying that you are not going to tell the truth?
06:09The Republic of China not breathe in Christian religion.
06:11What do you believe in?
06:12Chairman Mao.
06:14Very well.
06:15Do you swear by Chairman Mao
06:16that the evidence you give should be the truth
06:18and the whole truth and nothing but the truth?
06:20In Democratic Republic of China,
06:22there's no loom for eyes.
06:23Cloth is absolute.
06:24So say Chairman Mao.
06:26I think we can accept that as an affirmation.
06:30Proceed.
06:31Task Mr. Blount allocate to Tullo and me
06:34is visit Speaker's Corner in Hyde Park
06:36to observe all it is.
06:37I say to you again, ladies and gentlemen,
06:39do not be deceived by assurances
06:41of a so-called change of attitude in China.
06:44They are still governed by dictators.
06:47The people are still oppressed.
06:50Lavish.
06:50It is not.
06:52Lavish.
06:53China is still an aggressive nation.
06:56It is Western imperialists who are aggressors.
06:59China is still a free democracy.
07:02Now who's talking rubbish?
07:04You are.
07:05If you don't like it over here,
07:06get back to where you came from.
07:08Don't speak like that to my friend.
07:09You are.
07:10You are.
07:10You are.
07:10You are.
07:10You are.
07:10You are.
07:12Now calm down.
07:14If he wasn't a lady, I'd jump here.
07:16I have news for you.
07:18I am no rabies.
07:19You see, it was a political act of self-defense.
07:36Not our fault.
07:37You may stand down.
07:39Who's next?
07:40Mr. Giovanni Capello and Miss Favreau.
07:44Take the book in your right hand
07:46and read what's on the card.
07:49Not the likely.
07:50I'm not to swear on a Protestant Bible.
07:53We are Catholics.
07:54I swear by the Pope.
07:56Give him a Catholic Bible.
07:57Oh, okie-kokie.
08:02I promise I'm going to tell all of the truth.
08:06Me too.
08:08Carry on.
08:12Your Honor,

08:29Where do you think you're going?
08:31We've got to have a look round.
08:32You're not allowed in here without a pass.
08:35But I'm sure you can look the other way.
08:37Rules are made to be broken, no?
08:39Not by me, no.
08:41But it's for our homework.
08:43Sorry.
08:52Hey!

21:49the court to show clemency in this case these poor unfortunate people are
21:54guests in our country they have journeyed from their native lands to our shores to
21:59learn our mother tongue why because they admire our English way of life with its
22:03long tradition of hospitality free speech justice and above all fair play they have
22:09committed no offense in their eyes they were merely carrying out their duties as
22:12they saw them everybody has to look at them to see that they are criminals I'm
22:20sure the court will find the minutes and if anyone is guilty it is I thank you
22:29Petrocelli
22:34well having regard to your impassioned plea for mercy the court tends to agree with
22:39your remarks the accused are more misguided than mischievous therefore the court finds
22:45the defendants not guilty the court agrees with mr. Brown that if anyone is guilty he
22:54is to have sent out these poor unfortunate students on such foolhardy errands is highly
23:00irresponsible it is a pity that the court cannot punish you but be warned mr. Brown if
23:07if you ever come before this bench again for whatever reason you will be
23:11severely dealt with the court will adjourn
