reported upon as having occurred twice before (see 566/912), and an receipt of 566 we raised no objection. Since then Col. Regn 100 has been revised, but I do not think the arrangement is contrary to the letter or spirit of that Regn, because the Office of Registrar is a composite one - he is Registrar of the Supreme Court, Registrar of Companies, Official Assignee, Official Administrator, Official Receiver, and Land Officer. W. Shepherd is Deputy Land Officer and M. Sangster is one of the Deputy Registrars. He differentiates from the other Deputy Registrars appointed to act for him.

By the arrangement reported to have been sanctioned by the Sec. of State, it began when W. Ackroyd, the late Registrar, was in office and continued until M.W. Wise, the new Registrar, took up the appointment. It appears from the Changes of Office sent to A.G.'s office on 28th March & 20th July 1892, and 8th July last, that the Sec. of State does not consider it contrary to Col. Regn 100 for the distribution of work between W. Shepherd and M. Sangster, some work being distinct & separate from the offices they were thereby enabled to draw more than full pay.

Draft submitted for comment.
