SETH.
REGISTRAR, SUPREME COURT,
20000
RAL 15 SEP 7:
25
With reference to the last paragraph of
this Despatch,
beg respectfully to point out that it does not
appear to me to be retrospective inasmuch as the words used are
"any Officer who may act as Official Receiver during Mr.
#
Shepherd's absence,
and not "any Officer who may have acted &c.
As Ordinance No. 24 of 1895 came into force
while I was actually performing the duties of Official Receiver
and which I continued performing until Mr. Shepherd's arrival in
the Colony from leave of absence, drawing previous to the coming
into force of that Ordinance the full remuneration allowed by the
Court under the Schedule to the principal Ordinance, I respect
fully submit that I mis entitled during the period that I held
the Office of Official Receiver, (after the abolition of the fees!
to the allowance which Mr. Shepherd has been allowed to draw.
(Sa.) A. Seth.
