THE HEILDING OSTf AGAIN,
By Telegraph—Preeß Association. Feilding, November 3. The matter of the appointment of a clerk of the court at Feilding has come up again. At present the position is filled by a man ineligible for military service.

Tho local Justices protested against tho appointment, whereuponthe Public Service Commissioner stated that the officer was to be kept at Wellington; that the appointment was merely a niaitor of technical promotion. It is now reported that the present clerk at Eotorua is to be sent to Feilding, his plaoo being filled by another officer/ who had been exempted on the ground that he was essential. The Justices again protested, and forwarded the resolution to the Prime Minister, pointing out how tho Commissioner was evading a previous protest.
