As for Colonial Judicatures other than that of this Court, we know nothing. For ourselves, we would beg leave to disclaim any discontent with the present arrangements, nor are we sensible of the "immense inconvenience" to which we have been unwillingly subjected. The books of reference required in matters heard in Chambers are generally very few and can always be taken there without inconvenience in turn by the Clerks.

We hardly think it necessary for us to remark on the alleged notorious insalubrity and unsheltered state of the road leading to the private residence of your Excellency.

There is one other point included in this second head of complaint, namely the hour at which the sittings of the Court are held. Two of our number consider the hour of 12 and that of 10 to be preferable. Whether it is altogether inexpedient, nor can we see in what manner "it is unfair to the suitors, to the witnesses, to the professional advisers and the Prisoners." The suitors and witnesses are, we should imagine, well able to attend to their several matters of business in the morning.
