Mr. Justice Denninton'H Career. ? IBi Telegraph^ (Our Own Correspondent.) Dunedin, This Day. Mr. John Edward Derniston, who has juit received tho appointment of Supreme Court Judge for the Canterbury district, was born at Bishopton, near Glasgow, in 18-16. He was educated partly at the Glasgow and Greenock Academies, and at the boardingschool of Blair Lodge, near Falkirk, after which he completed his education at Glasgow University. Mr. Denniston's career in all his school day* was a brilliant one, and in his last year at Greenock Academy ho was gold medallist as best scholar in classics and mathematics. At Glasgow University he gained a valuable scholarship, open to all students from the populous counties of Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire. At college he commenced to study for the Bar, but was interrupted by his leaving for New ZeaUnd, in company with his father (Mr. Thomas Denniston, of Invercargill) and brotheri in 1802. On his arrival in the colony he entered the Civil Service, joining the Post Office Department, first in luveroargill and afterwards in Ohristchnroh, but after a few months' work he left the publio service for that of the Bank of New South Wales, in which ho served for upwards of six years. During the latter part of this time he read law steadily, and qualified himself for the position he obtained in the office of Mr. Stewart, bolicitor, jnst then vacated by Mr. (now Sir) Robert Stout. On the expiry of his artioles, and on being admitted as a solicitor after a most satisfactory examination, Mr. Denniston joined Mr. George Hutcheson in practice at Wanganui for a few months, but afterwards rejoined Mr. Stewart in Dunodin as a partner, Mr. Allen Holmes shortly afterwards also joining the firm. On the opening of the Otago University Mr. Denniston attended the Latin and Mental Philosophy classes, becoming a prizeman in both. Chkistchuroh, This Dat. Commenting of Mr. Denniston's appointment the Press says »—The new judge is Mr. J. E. Denniston, of the Dnnedin bar. The gentleman thus raised to the judicial Bench has bsen long known beyond the limits of his own district, in which, among a bar by no means destitute of able lawyers, he has maintained for himself a high place. The animated scenes in which he has not infrequently borne a part have no doubt helped to draw attention to the character of Mb personal qualifications, and it may be thought to say something for their substantial quality that after the prolonged consideration which has ovidently been given by the Government to the whole subject, they have not been found ultimately to stand in the way of his present appointment. His judicial qualities have yet to be tried. He will be received here, we may be sure, with all the respect due to his professional standing, and with tho cordiality which the Christchurch bar and publio generally have never failed to show to a new-comer oharged with tho important dutiOß which it will henceforward fall upon him to fulfil. The Lyttelton Times does not to-day refer to the mattor. [united press association.l Dunbdin, This Day. The Times and Star favourably oritioise Mr. Denniston'B appointment.
