report was written about it in the local papers! I was

the Registrar

in a most insolent manner

by Mr. May, for having done this and

his returns to leave birth for Goodman and earnestly to find fault with me. Since his appointment as Deputy, as he has kept his practice, I have been without a

clerk entirely in his Chambers, looking up authorities for him and assisting him generally, since he was a clerk whom he stated was incompetent. Hence I was left single-handed and in sole charge of the Registry until August last when the 2nd Deputy Registrar, lately a schoolmaster, came into office.

Several matters which were Mr. May's sole work came

before the Chief Justice who implied

of enquiring from him raised this opportunity of sending for me. They

were merely ministerial matters, for instance the paying in of money by solicitors, the decision of the Court on the filing of proceedings

as local practice in pursuance of the consent of the solicitors according by

waiving

the security

for costs previously ordered by the Court. I endeavoured to make the Chief Justice understand and think that done and referred to him. I said where
