USE OF J.P.’S
Aid for Magistrates CANTERBURY OPINION By Telegraph.—Press Association. Christchurch, June 12. Canterbury Justices of the Peace at a meeting of the executive of the association to-night discussed briefly the statement by the Minister of Justice, the Hon. J. G. Qobbe, in Christchurch, that he was considering the possibility of making more use of the justices.- , All the speakers to-night said that the justices of the peace had no idea that they should displace magistrates. Their idea was rather that, as a great deal of the magistrates’ time was now taken up with the hearing of cases which should not occupy their time at all, by-law cases and such, they felt that the services of justices might be used to lighten the burdens of magistrates.
