Registrars of the Supreme Courts of the Crown Colonies. It

is a question on which Judges are, I submit, solely competent, from their familiarity with the details of the work

of the Courts, to tender advice to the Secretary of State;

and I venture, with great respect, to suggest that, if the

reasons advanced in this letter are not of themselves

satisfactory, the Secretary of State should be pleased to

submit the question to the Judges of the other

Crown Colonies for their advice as to whether the views I

have expressed are in accordance with their own.

3.

I make this suggestion because my action

and the opinion I hold on the subject are based on the

experience of 15 years in both sides of the Judicial

Department. It was not until Mr. Seth's unexpected resignation,

which I reported to Your Excellency, that I had any idea

that my views were even open to question. It is true that,

so far as the Government of this Colony was concerned, the

action taken did not seem to me to be always consistent

with the practice of other Colonies, as I knew it from

practical experience in Mauritius; but so far as Mr. Seth

was concerned, he had always acquiesced in the control

which I had exercised over him without question.
