From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

His / Her Worship is an honorific prefix for mayors, Justices of the Peace and magistrates in Commonwealth Realms. In spoken address, these officials are referred to as Your Worship; Australia is an exception and all States now use Your Honour as the form of address for magistrates (the same as has always been used for judges in higher courts).

The style Worshipful is also prefixed to the names of certain corporate entities, including the Livery Companies of London, eg.: The Worshipful Company of Grocers.
