The Deputy Bailiff , Vernon Amy Tomes, Esquire
The Bailiff made a Statement in the following terms -
This is the last sitting of the States
b efore the Deputy Bailiff leaves office at
t he end of this month. It is not necessary,
o r in my opinion desirable, to refer to the
e vents leading up to his departure from the p ost of Deputy Bailiff . Even less so to
w hat took place soon after the announcement a bout Mr. Tomes was made.
T oday I wish simply to say this. Mr. Tomes w as appointed to public office in 1969, and t hroughout his time as a Crown Officer and l ater as Deputy Bailiff , was always
a ccessible and most helpful to States'
M embers. It would be wrong not to
a cknowledge this publicly, and also to
r efer to his work on the bench which, in
t he words of Sir Louis Blom-Cooper, Q.C., i n a recent article in the Financial Times,
w as of a high order meticulously
c onstructed'.
I t is my duty, therefore, to thank him in
t he name of the States for his work in the s ervice of the island and the States, and
t o wish that his future will be more
r ewarding for him and his family than the i mmediate past has been.''
