In connection with the suggestion made to Justice Cooper on Saturday that an extra sitting of the Supreme Court should be held in Wanganui each .year, an error was made dn tlie telegram published by- the evening pa pens.
• Inferring to the District Count, 'His Honor srid it had been .proposed in the Judiciary Bill introduced last seeston to abolish District Courts, but lie had no knowledge whether that proposal would be introduced during the coming session, of Parliament. If it were effected and the business of the Distract Court ■ transferred to the supreme Court, it might result in rthe necessity for the appointment of additional judges to cope with the work. So r ir as W anganui applications were concerned, His Honor said it was in the districts usually undertaken, bv the Wellington Judges. There were fifteen circuit sittings in the year, irrespective of sittings in Wellington itself, and it was difficult under the circumstances) to see how four sittmgrs could be arranged for the circn“ tf*.
