ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE.
Ux Uy 14

Numerically the smallest of the Government Departments,
consisting as it does of the Attorney General and Assistant
Attorney General and the Stenographer.
The time of the
Attorney General is fully occupied with the drafting of
legislation, and the answering of the multifarious legal
conundrums that come to him as principal law officer of the
Government. The work of Director of Public Prosecutions
falls largely to the lot of the Assistant. Not only does
he usually appear for the Crown in criminal cases at the
Sessions and in important preliminary hearings before the
Magistrates, but he daily devotes some hours to acting
as legal adviser to the Police Department. No reductions
are therefore recommended.
