NEW JUDICIARY PROPOSALS.
Per Press Association. Dunedin, Jane 19. A prominent member of the legal profession when seen in regard to the At-torney-General's proposal, which might mean the abolition of district courts and provision for more continuous court of appeal, said he took it that Dr. Findlay's idea was probably to make Wellington the 'headquarters of Judges, who would reside there. One Judge, say, would go on circuit in the North Island and another on circuit in Che South Island, following very much on the line of the custom in England. The other Judges would remain in Wellington, and could take court work there, and also court of appeal. If this was the intention of the Attorney-General it would_ mean that many of the colony's leading advocates would have to reside in Wellington, and follow the Judges on circuit.
