THE ASSESSORS
At a general meeting of the Wellington "Merchant Service Guild held to-day tho matter was again discussed, and the following resolution was carried: — "That this large and representative meeting of members of tho Merchant Service Guild, held on 17th January, 1930, strongly protests against an assessor holding such position if he has been away from active sea life more than five years. There are members of the profession actively employed who would sit on such cases and who are more' conversant with present day conditions. • "Assessors should be men who have :had experience .in tho class of vessel and. trade that is under discussion. "We •would.point out that naval officers in case of Court Martial are tried by their own. brother officers actively engaged at sea."
