I quite agree that the appointment of *Deputy Registrar and Accountant' with duties attached to it confined to the ordinary book-keeping should not be continued, but I doubt the wisdom of entrusting the book-keeping to a Portuguese clerk. Mr. Barff I believe
never acquired a knowledge of the general work of the Registry and was quite useless except as a book-keeper,
but I think that a competent European could keep the books and do a great portion of the Deputy Registrar's work as well. I should personally be very sorry to lose Mr. Hazeland as Judge's Clerk but I think it would be better that he should keep the books and as-

It is in my opinion desirable that one of the permanent officers of the Registry having the work of the Registry at his fingers' ends, able to answer the Judge's enquiries and having author- ity to carry out the verbal directions of the Judge, should sit in Court in Original and Criminal Jurisdic- tion.
