good as ever, but he is no longer a young man and there is always

the same difficulty with him in the Courte. He is extremely

good when started, but it is extraordinarily difficult to bring

him to the post. His bodily habit and an increasing Inability I to stand protracted exertion make him a very slow worker and be

{ requires frequent rests.

At the same time since Mr. Francis and Mr. Slade

left the soene there is no one in the Colony to equal him in the

able opening of a heavy case.

I was not very much surprised when Mr. Sharp

before the hearing day applied for an adjournment. He stated that

the facts were of enormous complexity: he had been much

inco@venienced by Mr. Crew's absence for a month in Japan, he was

not ready, and he could not possibly be ready in time. On each

application he assured me and no doubt himself believed that it

would be the last. He was in a quasi-official position as

representing the liquidator the Official receiver of the Colony.

Had I foreseen that Mr. Sharp would eventually

withdraw from the case before its close and that another Counsel

would come in, I should probably after one adjournment have

required him to go on at once. he would then perhaps have brought

himself to the scratch. More probably he would, if he felt

himself not in a position to do justice to the omae, have retired

altogether. He did actually throw up his brief halfway through

the case in an Admiralty motion last year, leaving his junior to

finish it.

V Had Mr. Sharp retired before the oase started the

only other possibility was Mr. Pollook. He must inevitably have

taken many weeks to get up the owas which is very heavy; he is very slow in Court and his weak point á oross examination which in an action for fraud is the most important matter of all. On the

whole I am not sure that very much would have been gained in the long run by sterner measures. In any case I acted after very

full consideration and with full responsibility. I believed at

the time that I was taking the course most conducive to the
