P.S.

Hongkong wouldnot be much less than the cost of a third Judge, and I have to urge for the last time the necessity of appointing a third Judge. In doing so I have to request the Secretary of State to believe the statement that I have made continuously since I have been in the Colony, that both the volume and the importance of the work in the Supreme Court makes it expedient that the Court should not be allowed to continue with the same staff of Judges that it has had for the last 50 years.

1st. December, 1911.

F. T. Piggott

Chief Justice

I am so very anxious that Your Excellency should

be in full possession of all the facts in order that the

Secretary of State may be fully advised before insisting

on the scheme being brought forward, that I have this

suggestion to make: assume that the new Court is at once

constituted and that there will be a 14 days session next

July: let us see what are the existing probabilities of

appeals.

I make this suggestion because a case has just

come to my knowledge which has a material bearing on

paragraph D of this memorandum which deals with the

original juris-diction of the Full Court.

In June I tried a succession case: it was started

on what is called an "originating summons' and being

represented to me as in great measure a friendly suit, I

assented to the hearing being before the Full Court. The

case was not argued in great length, although very import- ant issues were involved; but we have a fully considered

judgment on July 11. I am informed that the question of

appealing to the Privy Council is now under consideration.

If the new schemes had been in force there would very

probably have been an appeal and the issues are so import
