in thanking the legal profession at Dunedin for its congratulations to him on bis knighthood. Sir A\ illiam Sim said: "The -Chief Justice i- usually knighted upon bis appointment, but other judges, excepting in rare cases, are not knighted in New Zealand. In recent years the Eench appears to have fared very well in the matter of honours. When, in IK7I. tile then Attor-ney-General (Mr James Promlergastl was appointed Chief Justice he "as knighted. After that no honour was conferred on anv judge until 1011. w lien Mr Just it e Williams, to the ureal delight of the whole Dominion, was created a knight after thirty-sis vears' service on the Bondi. In recent years the Bench has fared much heller, for during the last sis years no fewer than five knighthoods have Leon conferred upon judges, and. in addition, the Chief Justice was made a I'rivv Councillor. He was appointed Child’ Justice in 180!). lie had a K.C.M.G.. h>'t lie acquired that title as a politician and not as a judge, to Hint in reckoning the question of honours II will he found that no judge was knighted from 1870 fill 1011. The lidich has hocn treated much hotter in recent years, and the Government has hoen very generous in the matter of recommendations to the King in this respect. New -Zealand judge’ hate certainly come off very much hetier than Australian judges.
