BOUNDARIES CONFUSED

HAMILTON DISTRICT From Our Own Correspondent HAMILTON, Today. Boundaries of tlie Hamilton judicial district are at present very irregular and create some confusion in that it is difficult to know precisely where the parallel latitude cuts through any particular county. In order to try to obviate this difficulty, the Hamilton Law Society is convinced that the most satisfactory solution to the difficulty is to adjust the boundaries so as to make them coincide with the county boundaries. It has long been thought that counties bordering on the present northern boundary of tire district would he better served by their incorporation in the Hamilton judicial district. The inconvenience and confusion at present arises in the Tanmarunni district owing to the doubt as to whether certain sections should be brought into the Taranaki district or the Hamilton district. To eliminate this unsatisfactory state of affairs, representations were made by the Law Society that the southern boundary should be amended so as to include the whole county of Ohura. In regard to the northern boundary it was suggested that it should be extended so as to include the whole of the Waikato, Piako, Ohinemuri and Tauranga counties.
