of a service to the Colony. And with begard to the Court over which

I have presided for over six years I am also I think entitled to

say that the foundation of the "Law Reports" has done much to put

the administration of justice on a sounder footing than it has

ever been before.

But I have to ask for a larger measure of consider-

ation on the following grounds:-

A. in so far as the desire expressed by the Secretary of State

for my retirement le concerned: because my attitude towards the

establishment of the new Appeal Court, which was made the basis of

that desire, has been entirely misunderstood. The Secretary of

State will realise this when he comes to peruse the letters which

I have recently addressed to Your Excellency on the subject.

Because the pension which I am likely to receive, even assuming

that the contribution from this Colony amounts to £500 a year, will

hardly reach 2800, and this after nearly eighteen years of arduous

service in kauritius and Hongkong. This affects me specially

seriously because the education pf my second son will not be completed

for another year, and this will constitute a heavy call upon my

resources.

C.-- Because I am still in full health and intellectual activity;

the prospect of obtaining employment is slender, and a life of

enforced idleness is repugnant to me.

D.-- More serious still is the fact that my retirement now will

completely destroy the prospects of promotion to the Judicial Ommittee

which I have always set before me as the goal of my ambition. For

the last fifteen years I have been working steadily with that end

in view, and have written a long series of works on Private Inter-

national Law which was only completed in December last year. These

works have been published at my own expense, and I have devoted a

very considerable sum of money to the purpose; they are received

as authorities on the abstruse questions with which they deal, and

I may add in passing have considerably facilitated the decisions
