I respectfully submit that under the circumstances the right direction and the only possible direction is that they should be paid to Mr. Wise.
Mr. Schroyd desires me to state that since his appointment as Puisne Judge he has received certain fees. Of this, $126.37 are still due, $65.81 has been received by him while acting as Chief Justice and the remainder as Puisne Judge.
I desire to submit himself to His Lordship's directions, relying upon the receipts. Acting Chief Justice and I have ventured to present arguments with regard to my own fees, and as to his receipts as Puisne Judge on those which I have submitted with respect to Mr. Wise's fees.
I am leaving here on 4th April and expect to be in London early in May. I shall be very grateful if His Lordship will delay final decision upon the points I have ventured to raise until I have had an opportunity of presenting myself at the Colonial Office.
(Signed) F. Clarke, Chief Justice.
Sir William Robinson, D.C.M.G.
