Mr. Woodcock is learning his work: but it is not

possible that he should even begin to master it for another 12 or 18 months. Mr. Wood, the titular 2nd. Deputy Registrar, is

work. Mr. Melbourne is acting in Mr. Wood's place. As I have

said before he is probably an excellent Prison Official, but

his metier is not Registry work.

that the practitioners should be satisfied with the way business
