Colonial Secretary's Office,
hongkong, September 1st., 1908.
Sir,
In reply to your letter of the 28th.
instant, 1 am directed to inform you that it appears that the
Secretary of the Commission which is at present enquiring into
the working of the Registry of the Supreme Court, wrote at the
request of one of the Commissioners to you as Registrar asking
you to allow the files to which you refer to be laid before the
Commission. The Commissioner referred to made enquiries at the
Registry as to the numbers of the files which were required in
order that the numbers might be quoted to you and was attended
to by Mr. Jones, Deputy Registrar. There appears to be nothing
unusual in the latter procedure.
J. W. NOBTON KYSHE, ESQ.

Colonial Secretary.
