Samoa's Chief Judge
pp. 41-42 · Read in the full issue
JJROM a gentleman in Western Samoa whose opinion is entitled to respect : IDO not at all agree with certain refer ences made in the “PIM” to the Chief Judge in Samoa. He is an extremely kind and unassuming man, who is the soul of fairplay. Decisions some times may seem to the layman to be unfair; but please remember that it is
the responsibility of a Judge to deal with the facts that are presented to him, and with the law in relation to those facts.
If certain things are known to the com munity, but are not presented as formal evidence to the Judge, you cannot expect the Judge to become clairvoyant. Our Chief Judge knows his job. and he appears to me to be most conscientious in doing it . . . Incidentally, that funny story about the ducks had nothing what ever to do with our Judge—but it would be a shame to spoil a good yam!
Mr. P. W. Glover, B.Sc.. of Apia, has been appointed to the Finance Commit tee of Western Samoa. Mr. Glover has lived 14 years in Samoa, and for seven years has been secretary of the Cham ber of Commerce.
