Prior to the advent of Mr. Gibbons, I never received a letter from the Registrar that I did not understand. For my Clerk, who is an educated gentleman and a Solicitor, to answer them for me directly and verbally arranged with me on matters other than purely judicial work. If I was absent, the communications were dealt with by him.

I had verbally arranged with my Clerk, who would act on my behalf in particulars of his duties, to deal with matters of detail with which my Registrar is fully acquainted, and he could verbally answer all inquiries on behalf of the Registrar. However, I found that Mr. Gibbons indulged daily in long letters of the most vague character, full of discourtesy.

Four such letters came to me within about 24 hours, resulting in more work than I could manage in several days. I therefore referred Mr. Gibbons to Mr. Sangster.
