say that the administration of justice is rendered more arduous,
and the responsibility of it far greater than it should be, by
the fact that there is no one with whom I am able to talk over
complicated cases on which I have to give judgment. *
Add to this the members of the bar are exceedingly
competent lawyers, and the solicitors are as able a body of men
as will be found any where. Their advice to their clients is
the
seldom of fighting order, with the result that a large majority
of cases which come before the Court, involve points as yet
undecided in England. These matters concern the personal side
of the administration of justice, but I think it advisable to
state them quite frankly for the information of the Secretary of
State. The interests at stake are too important, and the
responsibility of the Chief Justice of a Colony such as Hongkong
too great, for me not to refer to it.

*With reference to this paragraph, it does not
refer to Mr. Justice Wise, of whose great
experience I avail myself whenever it is possible
But he has his own Court to attend to, and it is
difficult to arrange consultations at hours
convenient to both of us.
