SOLICITOR AND MAGISTRATE.
By Telegraph—Press Association
ELTHAM, April 11
Interviewed this morning,. Mr G. P. .Wake said the resolution of soliciturs telegraphed from Hawera on Saturday inferred that an attack was made here last Wednesday on Mr Greenfield, S.M., This, he says, is not correct; what he objected to was the system of tha Government reappointing aged and long-retired magistrates'to the Bench. The retiring age for magistrates is 65. Mr Greenfield is over 80. Mr Wake made no attack on Mr Greenfield, nor <on 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 has been signed by nineteen solicitors in Eltham, Hawera and Stratford.
