JUDGE WARD'S FAREWELL.
[Special to tiie Star.]
CHRISTCHURCH, February 8.
The following is the concluding portion of Judge Ward's farewell to the Bar:—"For your sympathy in my disappointment I also thank you. It has been unpleasant, but one learns to be somewhat philosophical on such matters when advancing in years, and, after all, one can stand a single sword stroke we'l enough; but nine months of pin-pricking suspense has been a somewhat hard measure. However, I would rather that men should ask why I was not appointed a Judge of the Supreme Court than why I was appointed. I shall always remember with gratitude for the rest of my life the kind courtesy and cordial good feeling shown to me by the Bar of Christchurch during my term of office as acting Judge,"
