The rest should follow easily; but unfortunately Your Excellency's letter under reply leads me to think that the original position with regard to Mr. Seth is still maintained. The position Your Excellency assumed in the early stages of the correspondence was that I had no right to be consulted as to appointments in the Registry, because the Registrar and not the Chief Justice was the head of the Department. It follows that if I have a right to be consulted it is as head of the Department, and that the Registrar's position is such as I have always maintained it to be. I cannot help thinking that the letter under reply was written under the influence of Your Excellency's old convictions. It is as far back as June last year that Your Excellency's despatch to the Secretary of State was written.
