Ook telegramg yesterday informed us that certain important changes were to be made in connection with the District and Resident Magistrate's Courts throughout the Colony. It is further rumored on apparently good authority that the ten or twelve District Judges who are about to absorb in their Courts all the civil work hitherto requiring sixty Residenfc Magistrates to get through are to receive salaries of £1000 a year each, to include all travelling expenses, and that the sa?ing to the colony by this new arrangement will amount to £15,000 a year.
