New Puisne Judge Appointed in Fiji

TO take the place of Mr. Justice Carew, who has retired through ill-health, Mr. C. J. Hammett, senior Magistrate, has been appointed a puisne judge, Fiji.

Mr. Hammett was inducted in January by the Hon. Ragnar Hyne, Kt., in the presence of judges of the Court of Appeal and members of the Bar.

The Chief Justice said that the magistracy had lost a most excellent magistrate, but the Bench had gained a sound, conscientious and energetic judge.
