(SAW I

originally my intention to report the whole matter to the

Secretary of State, and I now have the honour to do so. In so

doing I seek the protestion to which I think I am entitled in

the circumstances: I desire in the first place to draw the

attention of the Secretary of State to a somewhat curious fact.

The papers connected with the question of the Court Vacation

have been submitted to the Secretary of State by His Excellency

the Governor because of the incidental allusion to the action

of the Chaian of the Chamber of Commerce in paragraph 5 of my

letter of 12th. March on another subjedt. The Secretary of

State has expressed his opinion on one point which arose out

of the question, but his opinion has not been invited on the

main question involved. Moreover there were other allusions in

that letter which it seems to me might also have been explained

in the same way. One of the them was specially important: the

general attitude of the Government towards the Judges. This is

a matter which has caused me a great deal of annoyance ever

since I have been in the Colony; I have referred to it again and

again in my letters, but little attention has been paid to it;

but it is very gerrane to the question which has been raised

in this correspondece, because in my opinion the attitude of

the Government is highly prejudicial to the dignity of the

Bonch, and the deplorable condition of inertness in which I

found the Court on my arrival is entirely due to the lack of

recognition and general ignoring of the position of the Judges

by the Government

•

I have long intended, as appears in many of

my letters, to report on the whole subject to the Secretary of

State; but I have always deferred doing so, preferring to try

and ameliorate matters by representations to the Government. I

refer to the questions now, not in any querrulous spirit, but

only because the question of the dignity of the Bench has been

raised, and because in my opinion the attitude of the Govern-

-ment does not respect that dignity, and because it was

specially unmindful of it on this occasion,

with special

reference
