RELIEVING MAGISTRATES.
j MR. WAKE. EXPLAINS. i By Telegraph—Press Association, llthara, April 11. Interviewed this morning, Mr. G. P. Wake said the resolution of wired from Hawera: on Saturday inferred that an attack was made here last Wednesday on Mr.. Greenfield. This was not correct. What die objected to was the system of the Government reappointing aged and long-retrrwd Magistrates to the Bench. The retiring age for Magistrates is sixty-five, and Mr. Greenfield is! over eighty. Mr. Wake made no attack on Mr. Greenfield, nor any Magistrate, that he was not of the highest integrity and honour, and disclaims any intention of doing so. To prevent a recurrence of the reappointment of aged and retired Magistrates, he has forwarded to the Minister a requisition asking for the appointment of a permanent relieving Magistrate for the North Island. This requisition was signed by nineteen Solicitors in Eltham, Hawera and Stratford.
