EASING THE BURDEN
J.P.’s IDEA OF DUTIES. (Per United Press Association.) Christchurch. June 12. The Canterbury Justices of the Peace at a meeting of the executive of the association to-night discussed briefly the Minister’s statement in Christchurch that he was considering the possibility of making more use of Justices. All the speakers to-night said that Justices of the Peace had no idea that they should displace Magistrates. Their idea was rather that as a great deal of the Magistrate’s time was now taken up with the hearing of cases which should not occupy their time at all, bylaw cases and such, they felt the services of Justices might be used to lighten the burdens of Magistrates.
