JUDGES’ RETIRING AGE
“It is me of those mysteries which are not for mo to penetrate, why magistrates should be relegated or admitted into retirement at a much earlier age than judges.” observed Mr Justice Callan, speaking at a complimentary luncheon accorded to Mr Wyvern Wilson, S.M., by Auckland patriotic societies on Thursday. “It is perfectly obvious,” his Honor added, “ that Mr Wilson is still a useful and thoroughly capable man, whereas people who take my job must dodder on until the age of 72 before they can get a pension that will induce them to seek leisure. By this age, one is incapable in the eyes of the profession of doing work competently.”
