to act in this capacity; but as his time is mainly occupied with the important duties of interpretation, members of the legal profession are not unfrequently constrained to call at Mr Mossop office in order to obtain what, from pressure of work in Court, cannot be performed within the Department. This is not as it should be and when it is borne in mind that the whole gear of the Ro- gier's Department would be sure to get hopelessly out of order were any sickness to fall upon its present efficient head, the importance of the situation may be realised. It appears, also, that the post of Accountant in this Depart- ment will ere long be vacant by the removal of Mr Barff to the Post Offies, on the anticipated departure or leave of the Postmaster-General. This change, if it should take place ere the Re- gistrar's Office suffers that reform which has been so long promised, will weaken still more the hands of all concerned. We trust that those responsible will give some attention to these considera- tions, on behalf of the public and the legal profession,
