He then returned to Charlottetown and entered the law firm of Peters & Peters, with whom he studied the required period, and in 1885 was admitted to the bar. At this time, owing to his brother’s ill health, he entered the Prothonotary’s office, the du- ties of which he continued to discharge af- ter his brother‘s death until 1901. He then formed a professional association with Mr. Whear under the firm name of Weeks & Whear, which relationship was maintained until February, 1904, when Mr. Whear was appointed postmaster at Charlottetown, which compelled his withdrawal from the firm, since which time Mr. Weeks has contin- ‘ ued the practice of law alone.

He is well liked personally and enjoys the

confidence and esteem of the entire com-. munity.
