A. Legris, KXC., of Haileyâ€" bury, had een appointed Deputy Judge ]for Temiskaming. The appointment | was made ncecessary by the fact that im.s HMHonour Judge Hartman, senior judge of the district, has been ill at 1his home at New Liskeard, and as a ‘ consequence Judge Haywood has been doing double duty for some time past, and has found the work too heavy for him. The appointment of Mr. Legris i¢s a signal honour for this Haileybury barrister, but the gencral opinion seems to be that it is one that is specially merited, and that he will perform his new duties in the most creditable and satisfactory work. Mr. Legris has been one of the esteemed barristers of Temâ€" iskaming District for a great many years, and for several years past he has beon president of the Temiskaming Bar Association. J. A.
