Up to the time of Mr. ALEXANDER's death, the Registrar had held the appointment of Official Trustee by the gift of the Governor and of Official Assignee and Official Administrator under Ordinances 5 of 1864 and 9 of 1870 respectively as Registrar of the Supreme Court. But these offices were held by himself alone, and no staff was provided for him. As Official Trustee he got a salary. As Official Assignee and Official Administrator he got the fees provided for the performance of the duties, no part of the fees going to any one else. Under these circumstances Mr. ALEXANDER OF whoever was acting for him was of course expected to do the extra work himself as far as possible out of office hours, and without interference with his ordinary duties as Registrar of the Supreme Court and this from what I have heard from Sir JOHN SMALE is what Mr. ALEXANDER did.
