By Tekaravhr—Press Association.
'AUCKLAND, Last Night. Sir John Findlay was asked at his
meeting last nighrtl,jf he favoured the ,»-payniueint of .an extra emolument to the Supreme Court Jiudges. ' . He said: "Nio doubt the question is aimed at Sir Robert Stout. lam pfiteiftiveily aslbamed at the mlanmier in wihkth certain men in public life have charged Sir R/ohert Stout with allowing lids, judgment to be affected by receiving money from the country. •Tuclicial corruption is wthat the charge amounts to. Fior any man to charge the Chief J/usitfoe with that is base, ignoble and contemjptible. Sir Rlobent Stout did not seek the wofk referred' to ' the quesETon. It was offered to him. He was asked
to work eighteen hours a" day on spo- '- rial! duty, for wihiclh. be was wslll,fitted. I know tlie man against whom tthss enlarge of judicial corruption is made, and I say hi* heart beats for lias country, and that his name will 'live long~aiter those of his critics and maligners are forgotten." (Applause).
