LAW ADMINISTRATORS
QUESTIONS OF SALARY.
Law ■practitioners' societies in various parts of New Zealand have recently, drawn the attention of the Government to the question of pay for Judges and Magistrates. They have urged that if the best men are to be induced to accept these important positions the salary scale,' which has not been reviewed for very many years, must be taken into consideration. At present Judjjes receive a salary of £1800 a year, except for the Chief Justice, whose salary is £2000. Magistrates are Tsaid ■ £700 a year, with an addition of £100 for the senior Magistrate in the four chief centres.
1 To alter the' scale legislation will be required, and it. is probable that some proposals, in this direction will be placed before Parliament next session.
