JUDGE’S APPOINTMENT CAUSES CRITICISM BY LAW SOCIETY.
Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, November 17. During the course of remarks in the Arbitration Court yesterday, with regard to the postponement of sittings of the Court until after the New Year, Mr O'Regan said that however gratifying the promotion of Mr Justice Frazer to the Supreme Court bench was to the legal profession and to the public, he felt bound to protest against the postponement. Mr O’Kegans remarks conveyed the implication that the legal profession had approved of the appointment, stated the president of the New Zealand Law Society . (Mr Gtay, K.C.) today. In point of fact, no society or body had been authorised to state the views of the legal profession, neither the New Zealand Law Society or any district Law Society had expressed approval of the appointment, temporary though it might be. As a matter of fact the council of the Wellington District Law Society had addressed a I letter of protest to the Attorney-Gene--1 rai on the subject.
