A JUDICATURE BILL.
PROPOSAL TO APPOINT TWO FRESH JUDGES.
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Last Night.
The Judicatura Act Amendment Bill was introduced in the House of Representatives this afternoon by Governor's message. The Hon. A. L. Herdman explained that tho Bill was designed to failitate the business of the Court of Appeal by the appointment of two extra Judges. It was proposed to split up the business of the Court into two parts. The Bill had been brought down because it was necessary to strengthen the Supreme Court bench. It was the intention of the -Government to put the Bill through, but not before the Statutes Revision Committee had had, an opportunity of considering it from every viewpoint. At the present time the Judges liad too much to do. The extra cost would only be the salaries of two extra Judges. The Bill was j-ead a first time, and referred to the Statutes Revision Committee.
