Sir H. Mathan observed that he presumed that the Chief Justice by requesting one Deputy Registrar to attend him in Court might relieve a clerk for such clerical duties as he might require.

It is entirely in Your Honour's discretion to require the personal attendance of a Deputy Registrar when the Court is sitting, and in point of fact Your Honour has so required. Your Honour doubts whether you consider that you have the right to report any case of carelessness in his work on the part of the Registrar which may come under your observation. Assuredly I consider that Your Honour would be lacking in your duty as a Civil Servant of the Crown if you failed to draw the attention of the Governor to any grave dereliction of duty of any member of the Registry.

Paragraph 19. The last paragraph of my letter of 9th April 1908, referred particularly to the 4th paragraph of Your Honour's letter of 31st March 1908, and was not based on the opinion of Mr. Seth.

9. With reference to your Postscript, I find on enquiry that Mr. Seth reported his absence from duty to one of the Deputy Registrars and by an oversight of the Chief Clerk in the Colonial Secretary's Office the report was not communicated to the Colonial Secretary. Had it been communicated Your Honour would have been informed immediately.

I have the honour to be, Sir, Your Honour's most obedient servant, (sd.) F.D. Lugard.

Governor, H.K.
