RETIRING MAGISTRATE
WARM TRIBUTE TO MR HUNT [Pan United Press Association.] AUCKLAND, December 21. An enthusiastic tribute to the retiring magistrate, Mr Hunt, was paid at a dinner on Saturday evening attended by over 130 members of the legal profession, medical officers, and others associated with him in his work. Mr L. K. Munro, president of the Auckland Law Society, said that, except for three years when he was stationed at Wellington, Mr Hunt who came originally from Christchurch, had sat in the Magistrate’s Court at Auckland since 1918, and had become a civic figure with a reputation in and beyond Auckland for his correctness of speech and vigorous commonsense. On rising to respond, Mr Hunt was given an ovation. A cordial welcome was extended to Mr Hunt’s successor, Mr Orr-Walker, formerly of Timaru.
