"I forward herewith Mr. ...'s statement of the amount of fees received by him as Marshal during the last ... years.
The fees during have been necessarily collected in dollars at the current rate of exchange.
I also forward, a similar statement from Mr. Sangster with respect to his office of Deputy Registrar, together with an account of the manner and date of appointment of the latter. This appointment does not appear to have been gazetted, but it is entered in the minute book of the Vice Admiralty Court, and I can give no further information about it. Indeed until I gave notice that I was about to address the Government on the subject of these fees I was not aware that Mr. Sangster had held any permanent appointment in the Vice Admiralty Court.
The amount of Admiralty fees received by me in respect of judicial acts performed since my appointment as Chief Justice is $320.70. Of this $188.18 was received by me after the receipt of Mr. O'Brien's letter mentioned below.
As I wish, with great respect, to submit to His Lordship the Secretary of State that those fees are legally mine under the provision of the Colonial Courts of Admiralty Act 1890, I should prefer not to pay over the amount until His Lordship has considered the reasons for my conclusion. If however Your Excellency thinks it better I will forward a cheque at once.
