Advocate Mr Leach has, in my opinion, always shown sound judgment combined with great ability. I know James Russell moreover that Sir James entertained a very high opinion of the manner in which he discharged the office of Puisne Judge before my arrival in the Colony. I have no doubt that Mr Leach if appointed would be a public officer in whose ability and discretion the Government could thoroughly confide.

I have referred, to Clarke, Chief Justice.
