experience - Many matters such as summonses for time to plead, and to proceed, have been in England delegated to the Masters; and in Equity the Chief Clerks exercise almost judicial functions.

The expression of discontent of the Profession and suitors never reached my ears in any other shape than that of sorrow that the brief for the Attorney-General was not well enough to come out. I endorse the Attorney-General's statements. The isolated caveat he mentions of the Receiver-General (one of my caves) and the other caveat of Puston & Co. (another of my caves) concern application by summons properly exercisable in Chambers, and, being adjourned, the Chief Justice properly directed it to be resumed at Chambers.

The Attorney-General took up 3½ hours, wasting the time of the court on matters irrelevant to the preliminary question of his right to be heard at all, and if he had had a public hearing he could probably have consumed many days in quoting international and constitutional law. I will at present only say that during my long and large experience (much longer and larger than that of the Attorney-General) in forensic life, I never found a Judge so careful, ready at all times to meet the convenience of the profession, evidently with the justice of the case, as the Chief Justice of this Colony.
