Honour held the view that a Third Judge was necessary to cope with the work of the Supreme Court, - viz.i» that after

consulting those best qualified to advise me I considered the weight of opinion was in favour of the view that a Third Judge was not immediately necessary, but I hoped that when the new Courts were finished the Colony would be in a position to incur the expense involved. Your Honour was as you cordially admit informed of the arguments which had been adduced in this con- -nection and had an opportunity of fully disposing of them. Your letters were forwarded to the Secretary of State and you

were so info med, and I am therefore at a loss to know what

further reply you expected, the absence of which leads you to

the conclusion that your opinion is disregarded. So soon as the

reply of the Secretary of State is received it will of course be

communicated to you, but in the meantime I presume from the telegram (which I at once sent to you on receipt) that after

a perusal of the correspondence he has adhered to his former

view that the appointment of a Third Judge can be temporarily

deferred. In this matter which you select as a flagrant

instance that the local Government *shows no consideration to

the Chief Justice", I can find no possible grounds for such a

conclusion.

We are all agreed that the appointment of a

Third Judge would be most desirable, but it is my duty to

examine the comparative urgency of a numberof extremely desir-

-able requirements in relation to the finances of the Colony

and I have come to the conclusion so far as my personal view is

concerned (the final decision resting with the Secretary of

State after perusing Your Honour's arguments and the Tables to

which you refer) that in the coming year the Colony cannot

afford a Third Judge. Provision has, however, been made for a

Deputy Official Receiver on Your Honour's recommendation.

As regards the second case cited, I did

make the suggestion regarding the Shanghai Judge in my letter
