appointment the $378 per mensem was continued to him.

On Mr. Kemp's appointment the salary of the office reverted to the old standard, the same as that of the Deputy Registrar and Accountant.

If however anything is to be made out of this point on salary then I am senior in this sense for at present I draw $28 per month more than Mr. Kemp and in June next will draw $50 per month more than he in his substantive appointment.

9. Nor can it be said that the work of the Deputy Registrar and Appraiser is in any way superior to that of the Deputy Registrar and Accountant for Secretary of State Sir Michael Hicks Beach in discussing the staff of this Registry on 30th October 1879 as to whether an additional accountant was necessary inter alia then expresses himself;

"I propose that the staff should only consist of the Registrar and the two Deputy Registrars, one of whom should make the Court and the Bankruptcy and intestate valuations and similar matters his special business, though he should be ready to take up such other duties as he may be called upon to perform, while the second should be in lieu of the present clerk of the Court."

Conditions have slightly changed since 1879 but the fact remains that His Excellency speaks of my office first and speaks of the Appraiser or Deputy Registrar and Accountant in lieu of the present clerk of the Court.

I do not wish however to lay much weight upon this point except to bring to your Lordship's mind the fact that the duties of the Deputy Registrar and Appraiser are not superior, and never were, to those of the Deputy Registrar and Accountant; nor has the office its origin from a higher plane. Therefore in no sense can it be considered the superior office.

10. Your Lordship is aware that Cadets have a preferential claim to certain appointments, if they are qualified to fill them, among these appointments are those of the Registrar, the Deputy Registrar and Accountant and the Deputy Registrar and Appraiser.
