From Our Own Gorrespondent.

Pt. Moresby, May 1.

AN impressive service was held in St.

John’s Anglican Church, Port Moresby, on April 5, when a mem orial was dedicated to the late Mr.

Justice Herbert.

His Lordship, the Bishop of New Guinea, assisted by the Rev. H. Mat hews, conducted the service. A large number of residents were presnt.

The memorial, a sanctuary lamp of exquisite design, was lit during the service by Mrs. H. L. Murray, daughter of the late Judge Herbert.

His Lordship addressed the gather ing, following the dedication. He spoke of the loving esteem in which the late Judge Herbert was held by all in Papua, and he said that this lamp was dedicated in loving memory of him. He had first come to Papua in 1910 from the Northern Territory; where as Judge and Administrator he had upheld with dignity the high traditions of his of fices, and had already spent much of his life in the service of his country.

These high standards he maintained throughout his career in Papua.

The late Mr. Justice Herbert on his appointment as Administrator of Nor folk Island in 1928, resigned his posi tion in Papua, and it was within a few months of taking up his new duties as Administrator there that he died.
