Mr. Cox

In view of Lord Crewe's minute

above, this paper had better be circulated to the

Crown Colony Departments in order that the question

of a general rule may be considered to be

anbodied presumably in a Circular. I think

myself that a general rule might well be laid

down that the Att. Gen. is not to act as a Judge

unless no other arrangement is possible ( as

In Br. Guiana, Jamaica, and Windwards there are instances of

the A. G. being appointed to act as C. J., the last two quite

recent. In the West Indies Magistrates and members of the

local bar seem to be the sources from which Acting Puisne Judges

are derived, and it is a question whether the appointment of a

private member of the bar is not, as much open to objection as

Meesty

that of the A. G., while a suitable Magistrate may not always

be available.

I think it would be advisable to consult the Governors before

laying down a rule.
