from England, 'a solicitor.or.solicitor's clerk well acquainted

Receiver but also to allow him to hold receiverships in the appoint

the Treasury. Be could also of course do general duty in the

Registry. I think such an officer could be got for a salary:of

about $2400. to $3000. a year.

Mr Kyshe, the Registrar, also conours in them with the exception .that he thinks the Official Receivership could be held by one of th

the Deputy Registrars. But I doubt myself whether this arrangenent

would work satisfactorily for an officer could not very well.be present in Court both as Clerk of the Jourt and also,as Official

Receiver.
