the Registrar

in a most insolent manner

by Mr. May, for having done this and

his returns to leave birth for Goodman and earnestly to find fault with me. Since his appointment as Deputy, as he has kept his practice, I have been without a

before the Chief Justice who implied

of enquiring from him raised this opportunity of sending for me. They

were merely ministerial matters, for instance the paying in of money by solicitors, the decision of the Court on the filing of proceedings
