the report of the

Commission, on

ae

- count of the injustice

and hardship which

the present system

works up on

poorer

the

claires; but

your despatch does

not quite allude to it.

My predecessor ex

-pressed his several

approval of this and

of the other

recommenda

-tions of the

Commis-

-sion; and there

has been ample

time to prepare

whatever ordinance

is required for carry

-ing it out. The Chief

Justice suggests

that one of the Deputy

Registrars should also

be permanently Deputy Sheriff

to act with that promptness,

which Mr Plunket was

unable to act;

and that Mr

Plunket had

been appointed Sheriff and

this was not previously

known to the reader.
