But Mr. Seth is on the verge of retirement. I have no wish to be hard on him, or to press for an enquiry which would bring discredit to him, after his long service. Moreover the question of Mr. Seth's veracity is really a side issue: I shall therefore content myself with saying that when he retires, he will carry with him the consciousness of having gone behind the back of the Chief Justice, who up to that time had treated him with unfailing courtesy, and overlooked his many short-comings, and of having screened himself from the consequences of his reports to me by falsehood.

I have the honour to request that this part of this letter be communicated to Mr. Seth.

I turn to the more serious matter of the present state of the Registry. I have again to repeat that unless the Registry is in efficient working order it is seriously detrimental to suitors before the Court, and hampers me in conduct of the business of the Court; and further that it is in my opinion the business of the Chief Justice to see that it is in efficient working order, and if it is not, to make representations to the Government on the matter.

There are three Registrars now in the office. I have already expressed my views as to Mr. Seth's inefficiency.
