QJ

to this Colony, after a long official training in another Colony, could not fail to form; after a little while I found

that it coincided with an already existing opinion in the

Colony, and my present very strong views are shared by many who

know the circumstances. Your Excellency's predecessor used to

say that he "hated law, and thought lawyers a nuisance", and I

was then often tempted to think that this spirit governed the

relations of the Government with the Judicial Department. At

times before Your Excellency's arrival these relations have

seemed to me to be so bad that I have been inclined to request

the Secretary of State to appoint a Commission to enquire into

the matter. But my tendency is always to make the best of

things, to avoid causing trouble except where absolutely

necessary, and so I have shrugged my shoulders and allowed the

matter to slumber. There is too a social aspect of the question

which is peculiarly exasperating, but I do not intend to

trouble Your Excellency with any special reference to it.

Your Excellency will do me the justice of

recognising that very soon after your arrival in the Colony I

hinted that matters were not in a very satisfactory condition;

and since that time I have repeatedly alluded to it, urging

Your Excellency to discuss the question in conversation in a

friendly and informal manner. An hour's talk, with a belief on

Your Excellency's side that I was discussing a matter with

which I was fully conversant, that I had no ulterior motive in

bringing it to Your Excellency's notice save the promotion of a

better understanding, and the consequent saving of much cor-

-respondence, would have put Your Excellency in the possession

of the facts, and would have, I am certain, convinced Your

Excellency that better understanding was necessary and could

easily have been arrived at./Your Excellency has expressed an

almost invincible aversion to such a conversation as I have

desired; and therefore Your Excellency has but an imperfect

knowledge of the whole circumstances which I have in my mind.

But
