THE JUDICIARY
MEMBERS WORKING UNDER PRESSURE. By Telegraph—Pres* Association WELLINGTON. December 14. An indication of the pressure under which Judges are working owing to the non-appointment of one to take the place of Mr Justice Adams, was given by his Honour. Mr Justice Blair. Mr J. S. Hanna asked if it would be I>ossible for Mr Justice Ostler to conclude early in February the hearing of a part heard matter. Mr Justice Blair replied "If you could tell us when the next Supreme Court Judge is to be appointed that would help me. Mr Justice Ostler is very busy in Christchurch and will probably have to consider a number of judgments during the vacation when the Court resumes in February. One of the Judges W'ill have to go to Christchurch. It is possible, however, that he will be in Wellington, and he might be able to take the case.*’ Referring to his diary his Honour suggested that the matter might be set down for February 2 in the meantime. He added: "I notice that the motto for that day is that you can run into debt but can only crawl out of It.”
