THE NEW JUDGE.
WELCOMED IN COURT,
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
WIELLINGTON, Wednesday.
1 Sir John Salmond took his seat for the first time as a judge of the Supreme Court this morning, and was officially welcomed and congratulated by the Wellington Bar. The courtroom was filled by members of the Bar and the Magisterial Bench. Sir John Findlay, K.C., expressed, on behalf of the Wellington Law Society, indeed, the whole legal profession of New Zealand, pleasure at Sir John Salmond’s appointment. It had, given double cause for congratulation, because the profession recognised that the Supreme Court Bench had for months, indeed years, been greatly overworked. They now had gratification in the appointment of one of our most eminent jurists.
