It is common knowledge that since I have been

in the Colony the Court has been more busily engaged than it

has ever been since its creation. For the first time in its

annals the judicial machine has been working at full pressure

and its resources taxed to the utmost. I make this remark in

no self-laudatory spirit, and with no intention of casting a

slur on my learned predecessors in this respect; but the fact

remains, and in order to justify and illustrate it I have had

prepared a comparative table of the amount of Court work done

from January to September in the years 1904 and 1907. These

years were taken at haphazard, and I think they tell their own

story; which is, that making such allowances as are necessary

for inevitable delays the Court was as full of work during that

period of 1907 as it could possibly be. Speaking from memory,

and without consulting the Registrar's books, I think that the

other years of my work in the Colony would tell the same story.

Your Excellency will, I think, now understand why I so much

resent the action which has been taken before Your Excellency's

arrival, and which compels these questions now to be put to me.
