Grace, C.M.G, Messrs Mathew Holmes, Charles John Johnston, Walter Baldock Durant Mantell, Robert Pharazyn, Edward Richardson, C.M.G., and John Rigg. Since then, however, the number has decreased to six, owing to the death of the Hon. W. B. D. Mantell, which occurred on the 7th of September, 1895, and the resignation of the Hon Sir P. A. Buckley, to take up the duties of Puisne Judge for the District of Wellington. Ten members are returned to the
