Excellency's despatch to the Secretary of State, that it is based on Mr. Seth's views, and I imagine practically adopts them. I must express my regret that Your Excellency did not do me the honour to submit those views to me for my opinion; my long experience as a Judicial Officer I should have thought might have been of some service to Your Excellency in forming an opinion, before submitting it to the Secretary of State. Had I been in full possession of the views expressed in this despatch I should have been able to point out that the facts on which Mr. Seth relies have no bearing on the question, and that the issue which he has somewhat ingeniously raised is entirely beside the point.

I do so of course under all reserve, as some years have elapsed since the occurrence. On the retirement of Mr. Isnard, an Officer of the same social status as Mr. Seth, Mr. Galéa a local King's Counsel was appointed Master and Registrar, the two offices being combined. The question I believe arose in the following circumstances:-
