THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL
SUGGESTION OF JUDGESHIP RUMOUR FLATLY DENIED (From Our Parliamentary Reporter) WELLINGTON, Aug 10. A complete denial of a rumour published in Auckland that he might be appointed to the Supreme Court Bench was given by the Attorneygeneral (Mr H. G. R Mason) in an interview to-day “The question has never come into consideration or been thought of in any way.” Mr Mason said. “Some little time ngo the Prime Minister, in reply to questioning, denied the rumour. That denial seemed to me sufficient to leave little room for the further circulation of the story. There has not been occasion to consider the appointment of a new Supreme Court judge, nor is it expected that there will be such an occasion for many a “No one is happier than 1 am, Mr Mason added, “in the reflection that there is not the occasion for the difficult responsibility of making such an appointment.”
