Judge Edwards' Appointment
HIS SALARY STOPPED. (PKR PRESS ASSOCIATION.) Wellington, April 22 Judge Edwards, following the usual practice of Government officers, forwarded his voucher for salary for the current month, falling due on the 80th inßt. There was no appropriation to meet the payment, the salary voted for Mr Edwards by the House as a Native Lands Commissioner having expired on the 31st March. The claim was referred to the Ministers, who, after considering the matter in Cabinet, decided that the Government have no power to make the payment inasmuch as the appropriation for the Commissioner has been exhausted and Ministers have no power to pay Mr Edwards a salary as Judge because the House definitely declined to recognise his Judgeship, by striking out his judicial title from the Esti mates, and further, that the message proposing the- excision of the word came to the House from the Government. _______^____
