These proposals are acceptable to
Mr. Bowley, who, however, stipulates that it shall be
understood that private practice is allowed him. In this
connection I have the honour to forward copy of a letter
from Mr. P. W. Goldring, of the firm of Messrs. Goldring,
Barlow and Morrell, Solicitors, and Kotaries in this
Colony, dated the 13th. instant, urging that, while in his
official capacity the Crown Solicitor should be afforded
every possible facility and advantage at the public ex-
-pense, his private practice should be distinct from his
official position and should bear its own expenses. With
regard to this letter I have to point out that (a) so far
the Law Society has taken no action and although Mr. Gold-
-ring's letter purports to have the support of others no
other names are mentioned: (b) the new offices assigned to
the Crown Solicitor will not be larger than those now
occupied by him: (c) the grant of office accommodation to
his firm is part of the bargain with Mr. Bowley and that
the Government has therefore no option but to grant this
accommodation or to create a Crown Solicitor's Office as a
Government
