staff which existed forty years ago? A negative answer is to

be found in the fact that repeated deadlocks occur, as I have

reported from time to time.

Your use of the expression "thoroughly

competent Pulane Judge" induces me to make the following re-

-marks, and to make this letter "confidential". Mr. Justice

Gompertz is as thoroughly competent a man as could be found

for Summary Jurisdiction; he is a born lawyer, and I look to

see him in the xxx future Chief Justice. Mr. Hazeland has not

his experience or knowledge; but he has a fund of legal know-

-ledge which has sumrised me; he is doing his work admirably,

and I am including some of his judgments in the Law Reports.

The Surmary Jurisdiction work has altered

considerably during the last two years; important cases are often

tried which take two or even more days to hear. I attribute this

to the advent of new members of the junior bar; Counsel are

being employed in the Summary Court more frequently than was

formerly the caso.

With regard to the last paragraph of your

letter, I am sorry to see that you still seen to think the

proposed new Appeal Court a possible solution of the difficulty

of the situation which has existed since I have known the Courts

of the Colony. It is hopelessly and utterly impracticable.

Quite apart from other reasons which I have explained, I must

draw your attention to what has occurred quite recently. There

have been two cases at least of the utmost importance which had

to be taken before the Full Court - one of them the bani sluzent

case,

in which there was an old decision of the Full Court

which had to be set aside. It was necessary that they should

be dealt with propatly, but promptness in hearing is the one

thing which would be impossible under the proposed scheme.

↑ should be obliged if you would forward a

copy of this letter to the Secretary of State in order to

complete this additional correspondence xxx on the

subject.
