A BRILLIANT PLEADER. The late Mr. Jenkin was one of the most brilliant pleaders ever to have practiced in the Colony. In 1931, he was appointed a KC, a most deserved honour. Apart from his legal work, the late Mr. Jenkin lived a somewhat retired life, During the war he was- EN charge of the Police Reserve, which at the time numbered six hundred me. He showed great enthusiasm for the work, and was largely res- ponsible for bringing the Force to the high state of efficiency which It attained. In recognition of his services, he was honoured with the C.B.E. decoration in 1918, when he was also a Justice of the Peace.

A poignant fact of the tragedy is that on February 18 last month,

Mr. J. M.. Hall, Mr. and Mrs. G. The late Mr. Jenkin, celebrated his silver jubilee having been A. Harriman, Mr. and Mrs. J. Scott married at Westminister Cathe-Harston, Mr. Justice and Mrs. J.
