fearlessly given; the course adopted in this case strikes a most serious blow at this tradition, and I believe that such a course has never before been adopted. I have however little doubt that when the facts are put clearly before those who have advised this action it will at once, together with the innuendos which have been used to justify it, be unreservedly withdrawn. I shall have specially to refer to the action taken by the Executive Council which as I venture to think does not accord with their constitutional duties as advisers

e Your Excellency.

It is advisable in the first place that I should point out what is the true position of Colonial Judges, because it seems to have been overlooked. They, like the English Judges hold their appointments dum bene gesserint, subject only to the age limit which prevails in the Colonial Service. Being independent of the -Executive in regard to the exercise of their judicial functions they

* are amenable in regard to them only to the Lord Chancellor, and any
