Whether it is true of the present Colonial Secretary or not, I do not know: but it might well happen that the Colonial Secreta- -ry should be of a contrary opinion, and he would then make his dispositions of the Registry Officers accordingly. But the Chief Justice who is chiefly concerned and responsible, has no voice in the matter. He knows nothing until it is approved by the Governor, and according to the opinion to my learned pre- -decessor, there is nothing left but remonstrance and an appeal to the Secretary of State. To this I must demur altogether.

But another and very serious consequence
results from the practice. It must inevitably lead, and it has I have little doubt in fact led, to the official ignoring of the Judges against which I had had on many occasions to protest; the last occasion being shortly before Your Excellency's arrival, in my letter to the Officer Administering the Government of 22nd. July. The fact has been gradually borne in upon me by a number of circumstances that the Judges in this Colony are so far as the Government is concerned a negligible quantity, and are regarded as a sort of superior Magistrates. The chain of cause and effect is clear. The Judges are not consulted with regard to the changes among their own officers, but the Colonial Secretary on his own responsibility makes recommenda- -tions which the Governor confirms. If it is not necessary to consult the Chief Justice in so important a matter, it is not necessary to consult him in other matters, and at last he has come to be ignored. I have only recently drawn Your Excellency's attention to a very remarkable example of this in the omission of the then Governor to consult me with reference to the counter proposals made by the Acting Colonial Secretary to my recommendation appointing a Third Judgejand there is the recent case of the Committee of the Chamber of Commerce, who were apparently under the impression that the Government set so little store by the recommendation of the Chief Justice that the imagined it was sent to them to advise upon; and they did advise that the Chief Justice had not made out his case.
