put on the black cap

put on the black cap
≈ выносить обвинительный приговор [в Англии, оглашая смертный приговор, судья надевал чёрную шапочку]

When the judge put on his black cap, the owner of the stolen linen rose trembling up... his lip quivering, his face as gray as ashes. (M. Twain, ‘A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court’, ch. XIII) — Когда судья надел черную шапочку, владелец украденного холста поднялся дрожа... с трясущимися губами; лицо его было смертельно бледным.

And I'm afraid I think very badly of men. And yet I do try to judge fairly, and not only to put on the black cap because of my own unfortunate experiences. (R. Hichens, ‘Bella Donna’, ch. VI) — Боюсь, что очень часто я думаю плохо о мужчинах. Все же я стараюсь судить справедливо и не выносить обвинительного приговора на основе моего печального опыта.
