Sir / Madam / The Magistrate Received from a British lawyer:

"Magistrates' court: Sir/Madam. If a ley bench is sitting, one addresses
the chairperson, using the appropriate gender. Your worship is antiquated. It is still sometimes used, but sir/madam is the proper style."

Your honour ... address the Justice of the Peace as "your honour". ...
But i this instance it is not question of a Justice of the Peace.

On the other hand, the language of a defendant is not always correct whilst the language of a lawyer ussually is.
Non-ProZ.com May 11, 2004:
Lordship vs. Worship "Su Se�or�a" en espa�ol vale tanto para dirigirse directamente al Juez como para nombrarlo en tercera persona. En ingl�s hay que decir "Your..." para dirigirse al Juez y "His/Her..." para referirse a �l/ella en tercera persona.

Curiosamente, el texto espa�ol no muestra si se trata de var�n o mujer, y se nombra al juez en tercera persona, as� que tendr� que usar "His...," que podr�a no ser exacto, pero �sta es una duda insalvable.

Despu�s de recibir tres respuestas, he buscado en internet (Google):
a) "your worship" + court + uk 827 hits
b) "your lordship" + court + uk 3750 hits

Por ello, deseo puntualizar que se trata de un juez (magistrate) de primera instancia en una caso penal. Puede que haya distinciones en este aspecto.
Si se trata de "the Law Lords" o altas instancias similares supongo que ser� "Your/His Lordship", pero cuando se trata el caso en primera instancia (at a magistrate's court) es probable que sea "Your/His Worship". No estoy seguro.

Seg�n el Webster's:

worship n.
5. (cap.) Brit. a title of honor used of
certain magistrates and others of high
rank or station (usu. prec. by Your,
His, or Her).

lordship n.
1. (often cap.) (in Great Britain) a term of
respect used when speaking of or to
judges or certain noblemen (usu. prec.
by his or your).

As� pues, la cuesti�n sigue abierta. Gracias por lo que est�is ayudando.
