CHIEF JUSTICE
RETIREMENT OF SIR MICHAEL MYERS LEAVING BENCH THIS MONTH (P.A.) WELLINGTON, July 18. The Prime Minister, Mr Fraser, announced to-day that the Chief Justice, Sir Michael Myers, had expressed a desire to retire at the end of. this month. The Government would arrange accordingly. Mr Fraser recalled that Sir Michael reached the statutory retiring age last September, but in view of the uncertain conditions then existing the Judicature Act was amended to enable his term of office to be extended for a period not' exceeding one year. “Sir Michael,” he said, “has pointed out that the times fixed for the sittings of the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal make the end of the present month the time most convenient to any successor to assume office.” Mr Fraser said there would be a later opportunity of referring to the retiring Chief Justice’s eminent services.
