I think **Jenner** was once contemplated to be an official under the proposed Trade Marks Ordinance. He does not perform these duties as Registrar of the Court; but the fact that the Judges have no control over him in these matters does not affect his position as Registrar. What that position is, is the question in issue; but it cannot be altered by the fact that he has outside duties to perform.
I guard myself, as I am anxious to make this letter as exhaustive as possible, by saying that if I found that the Government was imposing on the Registrar too many outside duties, I should be justified in enquiring from him whether his duties as Registrar were interfered with by them, in order to bring the matter to the notice of the Government. If the Chief Justice could not do this, there would be no one who could do so.
As a matter of fact, I intended to take this action if the proposed Trade Marks Ordinance had been proceeded with. I think that this disposes of the first part of paragraph 7 of Your Excellency's despatch. With regard to the remainder of that paragraph, I regret to say that Your Excellency has been misled on technical details by Mr. Sath.
