Mr. Memnule.
I conclude that this vacancy in succesion takes place with be filled up by the Chief Justice - subject- to the sanction of the Governor;
Is Mr. Frother is a contributor to the Superannuation Fund we may have materials for ascertaining his services, which may fully satisfy the Treasury.
Now Blackwood asks what has taken this gentleman to New York. Should we not have from the Consul some information as to the doctor who gives the certificate.
Mr. Beth. I am quite unable to say, having no means of knowing what induced Mr. Frotter to go to New York. But with regard to his leave it was, of course, open to him to go where else he pleased.
It might be necessary that the Doctors expected, should the quarantine be lifted, Mr. Frother to go to New York. I annex certificate (5269) in support of Mr. Frother's health is, I trust, sufficient corroboration of the expression of the Sanitary Officer on that point.
Mr. Blackwood will send on a draft - 8/3 28/8 Mate.
