The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Auckland Provincial District]

Judicial

Judicial.

Law and Justice are administered by the Supreme Court and Magistrate's Courts, there being no District Court in the Province of Auckland. Judge Conolly, who presides over the Supreme Court, resides in Auckland, and goes on circuit periodically, sittings being held also at Gisborne. Registrars of the Supreme Court are located at Auckland and Gisborne.

Seven Stipendiary Magistrates preside over the various Courts of the Province, and three of them are also Wardens of Goldfields.

Bankrupt estates are administered by an Official Assignee, Mr John Lawson, and his deputies at Gisborne, New Plymouth and Hawera.

There is but one gaol in the province, which is located in a valley at the foot of Mount Eden, on a site which is seldom seen by the general body of citizens.
