My Committee have considered your letter
dated April 1910 in connection with the Crown Solicitor's
occupation of the New Law Courts and also a letter from Mr.
H. L. De-mnys, dated the 26th. April on the same suject.
Hy Committee, with the exception of Mr.
Dennys, the President, are of opinion that the use by the Crown
Solicitor of the offices supplied to him by the Goverment in
the Court building for the purposes of his private practico
is wrong in principle and calculated to give him an advantage over the rest of the profession in the Colony which may justly
be objected to.
They are further of opinion that the first opportunity should be taken of remedying this state of affairs by precluding the Crown Solicitor from carrying on his private
practice in the office supplied to him by the Goverment.
At the same time my Committee are further
of opinion in view of the fact that the present state of affairs has oxisted for many years and may have been one of the in- -fluencing factors in deciding the present Crom Solicitor to
socept the post, that any change in the condition under which the office of Crown Solicitor is held should not be permitted
to inequitably affect the present Crow Solicitor.
The opening of the new Law Courts would
provide a fitting opportunity for taking steps to remedy the existing state of affairs. This opportunity should, in the
opinion of my Committee be taken advantage of; and in so far as any such steps are calculated to prejudicially affect the COCHE
present Crown Solicitor my Committee are of opinion that such adjustment of the teras under which he hold his office should
be made as would tend to remedy such prejudicial effect.
Yours etc., (84.) Paul M. Hodgson,
Hon. Seoy.,Law Society.
F. . Goldring, Esq.
