Webb, on Saturday, that in the appointment of Mr. A. Tyndall to the position of judge of the Arbitration Court there had been a complete departure from precedent and the appointment was unorthodox, Mr. Webb replied: “Possibly so. It was my job as Minister to appoint the man I thought would fill the position with credit. Mr. Tyndall has a difficult task ahead of him. The court has high traditions and lie succeeds many eminent men. “While the appointment may be away from the orthodox, I feel we have appointed the man for the job. I am convinced that no one in New Zealand is better qualified for the position than our new judge. He fills the legal requirements of his position, for he is a qualified lawyer and he has a wide knowledge of industry. He is a civil engineer efr high qualifications and wide experience, and his knowledge extends to other branches of industry. lam satisfied that he will acquit himself in his new position in a manner that will gain the full approval of everyone.”
