been submitted to the Chief Justice for his opinion, seems to
me to be more extraordinary still. The Chief Justice's recon-
-mendations have been disregarded on the strength of the advice
from a Magistrate who happened at the time to be filling the
office of Colonial Secretary. I venture to think that they have
had a still worse result, for they have compelled Your Excellency
to put to the Chief Justice the questions which are contained
in the letter under reply. I cannot read these questions in any
other way than this - that an impression has been created in
Your Excellency's mind that after all the remedy for the state
of affairs which the Chief Justice has reported is in his own
hands, and that if he understood his business better, and would
devote more time to the public service, there would be no need
for the appointment of another Judge.

I appreciate exceedingly the delicacy with
which Your Excellency has put these questions, and I desire to
say that I fully understand that Your Excellency had no other
alternative. But this only emphasises my view that these re-
-commendations of Mr. Smith ought to have been sent to me for
my opinion at the time they were made, more especially as
almost the first statement made by Mr. Smith on the subject
that the work of the Court had not increased was shown by the
tables annexed to my letter of April, 1906, to be without
warrant.
