I regret that I cannot follow Your Excellency's remarks in paragraph 5, as to the keeping of a diary. They are to the effect that I ought to have made general representations to Your Excellency to obtain an order that the Registry officers should keep a diary. But I wanted the information with which the diaries kept for a week would have supplied me in order to make general representations to Your Excellency. But again I must point out that Your Excellency has not appreciated the facts, because you refer to the keeping of a diary generally, and not the keeping of a diary for a week. It was this mis-apprehension which led Your Excellency in your letter of 5th May to describe my order as one involving "a serious addition of work both to the Registrar and his subordinate officers", whereas it would have taken them 10 or 15 minutes at the outside.

10. I do not fully appreciate the remarks made by Your Excellency in paragraph 7 of the letter under reply. If it is my duty, as of course it is, to report grave dereliction of duty of any member of the Registry to the Governor, it is so because I am their Official Chief. If the Registrar is an independent Head of Department, as was formerly
