13. Every Judge of the High Court of Justice other than the Lord Chancellor, and every ordinary Judge of the Court of Appeal, shall hold his office for life, subject to a power of removal by Her Majesty on an address presented to Her Majesty by both Houses of Parliament. No Judge of either of the said Courts shall be capable of being elected to or of sitting in the House of Commons. Every Judge of either of the said Courts (other than the Lord Chancellor) when he enters on the execution of his office, shall take, in the presence of the Lord Chancellor, the oath of allegiance, and judicial oath as defined by the Promissory Oaths Act, 1868. The oaths to be taken by the Lord Chancellor shall be the same as heretofore. No Judge of the High Court of Justice, while he continues such Judge, shall hereafter, unless otherwise provided by Parliament, be appointed to any place of profit under the Crown except on a transfer to another judicial appointment.
