{{cite book}}: CS1 maint: location missing publisher (link)Sir Joseph T. Hutchinson, late Chief Justice of the Gold Coast, has, after a brief holiday, left England to assume the duties of his new office as Chief Justice of Grenada. He is a stranger to the West Indies, but, if previous success counts for anything at all, he is sure of a brilliant career in the service. At present Sir Joseph Hutchinson is proceeding to Grenada on a less salary than that which he received on the Gold Coast, but the advantage of climate no doubt fully compensates him for the small loss of salary.
The Queen has been pleased to give directions for the appointment of Joseph Turner Hutchinson, Esq. (Chief Justice of the Gold Coast Colony), to be the Chief Justice of the Colony of Grenada.
