practice which is detrimental to the proper conduct of the business of the Courts.

I myself am often seriously inconvenienced

by the practice. On one occasion last year an officer from the Registry (Hr. Kemp) was ordered away to do duty at the Colonial Secretary's Office for some weeks without even a preliminary reference to me whether he could be spared.

3.

Your Excellency refers me to a minute of one

of my predecessors Sir George Phillippo. I have often heard this quoted, and I am glad to have this opportunity of dealing with it officially. With the general idea on which it is based, that the Registrar is a Head of Department, I am in agreement. The status of the Registrar of the Supreme Court, is one which has I believe been considered in every Colony, and the status of Head of Department has always been granted to him. So far as the remainder of the minute is concerned, if it is supposed to warrant the present practice, which I somewhat doubt, I entirely disagree. The Chief Justice cannot be so dissociated from the work of the Registry that his officers may be removed or changed without consulting him. The Registry is charged with the departmental work incident to a busy office, and much must be left to the discretion of the Registrar, who must to a certain extent work without consulting the Chief Justice. But it is his duty in all matters to keep the Chief Justice informed of what is going on, and I do not limit this to what would be called "important" matters. The changes in the staff are however the most important ́matters of all, and in my opinion it is wrong from every point of view that these changes should be made without the Chief Justice's opinion being taken. A Chief Justice who knows his business must keep in touch with all his officers, and there are many cases in which the effective administration ! of justice depends on this.

4.

Incidental to this question is the suffici- -ency of the staff in the Registry. I am of opinion that it is not sufficient to cope properly with the business of the Court.
