It subsequently transpired that the Registrar had put it in the Court file of a suit then pending in which the question had arisen. This was a mistake which a junior clerk ought not to have committed, and it caused much inconvenience. I have no doubt that this was a case in which it was my duty to reprimand the Registrar. Of course, if I considered the case of carelessness sufficiently grave I should report it. I am not very clear on the point, but I fancy that Your Excellency's contention is that I have not even this right.

The reference to Ordinances is, I venture to think, disposed of; for either they have no reference to the Registrar's duties as Registrar, or they do not refer to the question at all. The work of the Supreme Court involves a considerable amount of routine detail, and a staff is appointed to perform it; an officer, the Registrar, is put in charge of that staff; but it is impossible to sub-divide
