In view of Lord Crewe's minute
above, this paper had better be circulated to the
Crown Colony Departments in order that the question
of a general rule may be considered to be
anbodied presumably in a Circular. I think
myself that a general rule might well be laid
down that the Att. Gen. is not to act as a Judge
unless no other arrangement is possible ( as
In Br. Guiana, Jamaica, and Windwards there are instances of
the A. G. being appointed to act as C. J., the last two quite
recent. In the West Indies Magistrates and members of the
local bar seem to be the sources from which Acting Puisne Judges
are derived, and it is a question whether the appointment of a
private member of the bar is not, as much open to objection as
Meesty
that of the A. G., while a suitable Magistrate may not always
be available.
I think it would be advisable to consult the Governors before
laying down a rule.
