1.

Mr.

>

Woodcock is prepared to accept the post

of First Clerk to the Magistrates at $4,200 with Compensation

plus quarters.

t

2. That being so, I recormand that Mr.

Melbourne be appointed Deputy Registrar and Appraiser.

3. I recommend Mr. Melbourne rather than Mr.

Lee-Jones because (1) he has 12 years seniority at the Bar;

(2) he has been engaged in legal work since 1891, part of the

time in a Solicitor's Office, part of the time in practice at

the Bar, and part of the time in the Government Service; (3)

he is senior to Mr. Lee-Jones in the legal branch of the

service; and (4) I think that he would be the more fitted to

act as Registrar. The pay of the two Deputy Registrars is the

ゴー

same.

13th. August, 1909.

(sd.) J. H. Kemp,

Registrar.
