seriously impeded by a press of small work which must be attend-

ed to. I imagine that this consideration would apply to the

work of the Shanghai Court.

February would also be a bad month, as Race

week falls in this month. The most convenient month from all

point of view would be March. With regard to the Summary Court

the Puisne Judge agrees with me. 4th. July is open to very great

objection. "From July to the Long Vacation is the busiest time

of the Court in Original Jurisdiction, and if the Appeal Court

were to sit in July, the possibility of deadlocks, which are

frequent now, would be increased. The best month would be

October November after the Long Vacation.

I see from the Attorney-General's remarks

that the dates January and July have been suggested by the Bar.

The suggestion must have been made without full consideration;

and I have no doubt that if the above remarks are submitted to

the profession they will concur in them.

8.

There are many other points of detail

which appear to me to need investigation; but I do not think

that time should be wasted now, as there are two cardinal

points to be decided, and until these are decided it is useless

to consider details.

The first is the fixing the dates on which

the Court of Appeal is to sit. The scheme is not feasible

unless this can be done. But the Secretary of State for Foreign

Affairs made it a condition that the Judge of Shanghai could

only be lent to the Colony if he were allowed to fix his coming

to Hongkong according as the requirements of his own Court

allowed him. It is obvious that the words 'subject to any

arrangements which may be from time to time made by mutual

arrangement between the Judges' which the Attorney-General has

inserted do not meet this difficulty, as his own remarks show.

I believe that every one is agreed that unless the Appeal Court

can sit at fixed times the scheme should be abandoned.
