has not consulted personally with the Chief Justice before

sending his recommendations to the Secretary of State. In this

case courtesy,I think, demanded this all the more, seeing that

the proposal emanated from myself.

In order to show how necessary personal

consultation was in this case, I desire to draw Your Excellency's

special attention to Sir Matthew Nathan's reply to the first

letter I wrote in 1906 on the subject of increasing the number

of Judges. He said, among other reasons for not supporting my

proposal, that he had been advised that the amount of work be-

one who knew nothing at all about the matter. I therefore had a

table prepared which showed that the work had quadrupled. And

yet Sir Matthew Nathan never once expressed a desire to discuss

the matter with me.

I have now the honour to request that I may

very serious and I am desirous of preventing the recurrence of

a state of things which works infinite prejudice to the commerce

of the Colony.
