JUDGE’S FIRST PROTEST
CASE UNABLE TO PROCEED (By Telegraph.—Press Association) WELLINGTON, Monday "One has to accept these difficulties arising in times like the present, but I do think I am entitled to a mild protest for the first time since I have been on the Bench, for I have never complained before about adjournments,” said Mr Justice O’Regan in the Compensation Court to-day when a case in which Mr W. H. Cunningham was to have appeared had to be adjourned because counsel had been called up for military service at short notice. ‘‘Personally I have done my level best not to keep anyone waiting,” His Honour said. "I have worked every Saturday since I have been in Wellington preparing judgments in order to keep the work in hand. I was here this morning at 10 o’clock to ! take this case and after three-quar-I ters of an hour I am told it is im- | possible to go on. It is not a very 1 desirable state of affairs and I think I am entitled to protest against it with a view to preventing a recurrence.’
