The number has been augmented by subsequent Commissions to Fifteen in all.
It is His Excellency's desire that a Return be made of the number of Attendances at Petty Sessions since the time of the issuing of these Commissions. He finds that one Gentleman has given Six attendances, five Gentlemen have given two attendances, seven Gentlemen have given one attendance, and two Gentlemen have given no attendance since their appointment.
He has to remark that there have been only two occasions on which a Justice has assisted the Stipendiary Magistrates with their presence and advice. On these two occasions Four Justices attended, three of whom are stated to have been present for the first time since they were sworn in. They were present at the special request of the Acting Chief Magistrate. On the first of these occasions (the 23rd May), there was not unanimous concurrence in decision, whereby, in the judgment of His Excellency, the obvious intent and meaning of the Law were abrogated and annulled by the Action of the Bench.
