Lordship the Chief Justice was supreme head of the Judicial Department during most of this eventful past and if the man who wrought all the mischief daring those luckless times was his "clerk," the question arises, How does this fact affect the question of responsibi. lity. If the Court now says "you are my clerk," the present Registrar holding a more important and responsible position than that held by Mr Huffam, is the Court not responsible in a very largo degree for much that was done under the Lyall Still feats of mysterious dis. appearance? Of course, as the Court has now laid down the theory that the Registrar of the Supreme Court is noth- ing more than the Clerk of the presiding Judge, it is not for poor mortals like ourselves to gainsay the statement. the public, and probably also the Govern went is now labouring to arrive at some settlement as to who may most reasonably be saddled with responsibility for the loss of public moneys by Court irregularities, and every utterance from the Bench bearing upon that point is closely ana- ried. The proposal made in theso columns was that the money stolen should be refunded by the Government, in order that tho spotless reputation of the British Courts here should be mai

For the sake of the learned Chief Justice himself, therefore, we may indulge the hope that his definition of the Registrar's position is not the product of that calm and well-balanced judicial mind which a dictum from the Beach ought to ba.
