.VIEWS OF THE LAW SOCIETY
(Per Press Association.) WELLINETON, Saturday
In .the course .of remarks in the Arbitration Court yesterday, in regaid to .the postponement of the sittings of the-.court.until after.the New Year, Mr P. J. 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.
. “Air O’Regan’a . remarks conveyed an implication that the legal profession approved of the appointment,” stated the: president of the New Zealand Law Society, |, Mr A. Gray, K.C., to-day. “The point of fact, no society or body is authorised to state the views of the legal profession.”
Neither the Nev/-Zealand Law Society nor any- district law society has 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 letter of protest to the At-torney-General on the subject.
