FAREWELLING A JUDGE.
PROBABLY PREMATURE
AUCKLAND, This Day.
The remark made by Mr Justice Chapman in the Supreme Court that he "thought this would be his last visit to Auckland," was referred to by the Hon. J. A. Tole, K.C., prior to the adjournment of. the Court. Mr Tole had just commenced to address the Judge, when his Honour interrupted, saying that representatives of the Law Society had called on him and he had discouraged any idea of their addressing him, and he would not like to encourage Mr Tole to say anything.
Mr Tole said he simply wished to express the regret of the members of the Bar that this would be his Honour's last visit here. They appreciated the courtesy they had always received from his Honour. He could only express his deep regret that by his Honour's retirement the Bench would lose so able a judge.
His Honour said: "It is quite likely you may see me here again. Perhaps the remark passed was somewhat hastily made."—Press Assn.
