Edwards, of the legal firm of Moorhouse and Edwards, in this city. The Commissioner will have all the powers of a Supreme Court Judge, and will probably fill the first vacancy on the Supreme Court Bench when Mb work as a Commissioner is completed. The works on hand may take some years to get through, but Government has thought it advisable that the post of Commissioner should be occupied by a person who has the standing of a Supreme Court Judge.
