THE CHIEF JUSTICE.
A SECOND OPERATION.
REMAINING LEG AMPUTATED.
CONDITION SATISFACTORY.
[BY TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.] WELLINGTON. Thursday.
Early in tho year tho Chief Justice, Sir Charles Skerrett, acting on medical advice, entered the Bowen Street Private Hospital, where it was found necessary to amputate one of his legs in an endeavour to prevent the trouble from which he was suffering extending further. His Honor made a remarkably quick recovery from tho effects of the severe operation and it was hoped he would soon be able to take his place again on the Supremo Court Bench.
Unfortunately it was found that the trouble had affected tho other leg, making its amputation necessary. Tho operation was performed at the Bowen Street Private Hospital by Sir Donald McGavin, who stated late to-night that Sir Charles' condition was satisfactory.
