Mr. Imale himself, then Attorney General, when reporting that Ordinance No. 640 only says that "it is probable the Judge of the Court of Summary Jurisdiction may not be fully acquainted, whilst, if the business in the Supreme Court should increase as they have recently done, that Court may be crowded with business—clause 34 provides for such a state of circumstances, with an appeal to the Supreme Court.""

Attention, however, has been very specially directed of late to this subject; because of a most unprecedented and obstructive act on the part of Mr. Smales.

Mr. Parmeefote at once sent in his resignation, and if he still retains the office it is because Mr. Imale retreated from his position and resumed the transaction of the business which he is paid to attend to, and also because Mr. Parmeefote understands that the Government has it in contemplation to propose a reform of existing Legislation and deprive Mr. Smale of a privilege—if he has it, which he has shown that he can gravely abuse.
