to my taking action: and, with much respect, by my surprise

that Your Excellency should not only accept his denial without

the slightest inquiry, but inform me either that I myself have

made a false statement or that my memory has failed me. Had Mr.

Seth been remaining in the service I should have requested an

immediate inquiry. But his veracity is now a secondary question;

the important point is that the Registry should as soon #8

possible be put up on a proper basis, and his retirement has

made a commencement possible. I am content to let Mr. Seth go

without any inquiry, I am content that Your Excellency should

think that I have invented the story on which the whole of this

correspondence rests, or that my memory has played me false,

long as the much needed renovation of the registry is accomplish -

-ad. One thing has been achieved; and I have little doubt that

the rest will follow in process of time. On one point Your

Excellency doubtless agrees with me; that if Your Excellency's

present views as to the advisability of consulting the Chief

Justice with regard to contemplated changes in the Registry had

been expressed in Your Excellency's letters of 10th. and 16th.

March, 1908, instead of those which were actually expressed, a

considerable amount of correspondence would have

been

saved.
