What amount of time did the First Bailiff
spend in the office?
Hill worked overtime regularly for years. He would be in the office about four hours a day. Latterly he has been outside a lot owing to the number of seizures. I should say his time would be spent half in the office
and half out.
Why has no one yet been paid out of the
moneys furnished by the Government?
I have not got a complete list yet. There are about thirty more to do. I thought you wanted the complete list.
Are there any departmental rules detailing the duties of the officers of the Supreme Court?
No. Everybody had their own work. When a

Is there any record kept of letters arriving at the Registry?
?
No. There is no correspondence register.

routine answer every letter. I generally speak to the
Solicitor.
