THE MASISTRACY.
(Per Press association.) ELTHAM, April 11. Interviewed this morning, Mr G. P. Wake said the resolution of the solicitors condemning his attack upon the S.M.. Mr Greenfield, inferred that an attack was made. There was no attack. What he objected to was the system of ■Government re-appointing aged and longretired magistrates to the Bench. The retiring age for magistrates is 65. Mr Greenfield is over 80. Mr Wake said he made no attack 011 Mr Greenfield nor on any magistrate, that he was not of the highest integrity and honour, and he disclaims any intention of doing so. To prevent a recurrence of the re-ap-pointment of aged and retired magistrates he has forwarded to the Minister for Justice a requisition asking far the appointment of a permanent relieving magistrate for the North Island. This requisition was signed by nineteen solicitors in Eltham. Hawcra, and Stratford.
