PART-TIME CLERK

CAMBRIDGE MAGISTRATE’S COURT Last week a part-time Clerk of the Cambridge Magistrate’s Court was appointed and the police transferred their offices from the Court House. The new part-time Clerk of the Court, is Mr Bell, of the Magistrate’s Court, Hamilton, and he will be in attendance in the Cambridge Courthouse on Tuesdays and Thursdays, between 10.30 a.m. and 3.30 p.m. except for the lunch hour. New Police Headquarters. The police headquarters are now domiciled in a lean-to at the rear of the drill hall and the Constables have been busy removing their files and records to their new premises. The police have now been relieved of the duties of clerk of the court; but are still on the same ’phone number. From first impressions of the new police headquarters it is realised that they have not improved on their previous conveniences. Their office is nothing more than a glorified corrugated iron lean-to at the rear of the drill hall, with no defined path to give any indication where they are situated. However, the Police Department will probably see that our local police headquarters are improved and made more convenient. In the present office there is an open fire place that has long outlived its usefulness. Those seeking police information will have to enter the large double gate at the drill hall and walk through the grass padodck on the left-hand side of the hall and will eventually find the offices at the rearend of the hall.
