THE JUDICIARY BILL.
A number of the legal profession ininterviewed in Dunedin generally approved of the principle of the Judiciary Bill, although doubts were expressed in some quarters as to whether four Supreme Court Judges, although relieved of Appeal Court work, would be sufficient to cope with the ordinary Supreme Court work and the extra work entailed by taking over the work of the District Courts. It is assumed that the first Justices of Appeal, in addition to the Chief Justice, will be Mr Justice Williams and Mr Justice Denniston. Further, as understood the Chief Justice will be absent from New Zealand on leave next year, the first President of the Court of Appeal will be Mr Justice Williams. It is understood that the vacant Supreme Court judgeship will be offered to Mr Justice Sim.
