(Subject.)

DESPATCH.

RECEIVED 22 JAN 1877

No. 372

Application of Mr. Justice Crowden for

10 Weeks Vacation Leave.

Encloses and recommends

Governor to Attorney General.

(Minutes.)

It used to be held that a judge had necessarily no claim to vacation

leave beyond the due recess of this court, but it appears that in Hongkong business flags to a certain extent during the

vacation of the courts. Sir J. Smale

was allowed 4 months' leave, Mr.

Shaw doing the whole work.

Stoppage

W. Innes must now have the work provided. Sir J. Smale can do the work of both courts for the time being without loss

to the Colony. Hardly
