legitimate appeals would be largely increased.

But the question of finance having arisen

when I discussed this matter with Your Excellency verbally, I

have made some general suggestions with regard to the finances

of the Colony, which I hope may be adopted, and that provision

for the payment of the expenses connected with the appointment

of a Third Judge may thus be met.

16.

With reference to paragraph 9 of Your Excel-

-lency's letter, in which the question of the Attorney-General

being called on to replace the Chief Justice is dealt with, I

know that on previous occasions a member of the Bar has acted

as Attorney-general in similar circumstances. I have had many

years experience as Law Officer, and I do not think that it is

considered very advantageous for the public service to bring in

an outsider as confidential adviser to the Government; but that

of course is a matter which Your Excellency would consider when

occasion arises. I may add however that I doubt whether in the

present busy state of the Court a barrister could be found who

could spare sufficient time to undertake the Government work

efficiently. It certainly would be a great hardship to the

public. However, I can frame this part of the case in this way:-

that if the Attorney-General were to be called upon to act

as Chief Justice it would necessitate the bringing in of an

outsider
