I have no doubt that Sir R. MacDonnell

does not overrate the difficulty of

filling these Judicial appt.

The Chief Justice, the Summary Judge

& one Magistrate

are all absent.

The second Magistrate remains.

&

the Attorney General

The able bar is found to consist of

those whose differences with the Chief Justice have constantly

ended in

Mr Pollard

Mr Hallifax

Mr Whitley

&

Ex Magistrate

I do not

recently support a

fourth barrister whose name

is at this moment

I am not

ready to be done

(citing

&

away

Remember

that anything

is in the happiest degree inconvenient

that Mr Smale should have absented himself

at that time - But I am bound to say that

owing

to the state of Mr Smale's mind.

W. of 26 June to July.
