RECO REG I NOV 09

I have the honour to acknowledge Your Excel-

-lency's letter of 17th. August informing me that you have

recommended Mr. C. A. D. Melbourne for the post of Senior

Deputy Registrar vacant by the promotion of Mr. Wood.

I have to express my regret that Your Excel-

I regret it the more because Your Excellency

I regret that I must now inform Your Excel-

-lency that in my opinion Mr. Melbourne is wholly unfit from

any point of view to undertake Registry work, even were it that

of Junior Deputy Registrar. His appointment would involve

serious inconvenience to the Judges, as he is unable to afford

assistance which they have a right to expect from
