In
in any case not covered by the previous sub-sections. redrafting the sub-section it has been considered desirable to provide for more than one temporary additional judge, to make express reference to the temporary members of the Full Court, and to omit, as in case of sub-section (1), the words "in the permanent service of the Colony".
5. Sub-section 10 (4) is new. It appears from the Objects and Reasons of the 1929 Ordinance (1929 Hansard p. 14) that the intention of the saving in section 9 (2) was to provide that temporary judges need not be appointed in the formal manner in which permanent judges are appointed. The new sub-section (4) added to sub-section 10 clarifies the method of appointment of temporary judges.
6. Section 11 of the, principal Ordinance which avoids the office of a judge of the Supreme Court taking or per- forming any other place of profit or emolument not authorised by law has been redrafted and made inapplicable to judges temporarily appointed under section 10. The section in the principal Ordinance evidently contemplated the situation of a permanent judge accepting or performing the duties of another office and not the situation of the holder of another position being required temporarily to assist as a judge in the Supreme Court,
