For Sequalune
A few days ago I received a letter from
you enclosing a memorandum about the judicial
and legal set up in Hong Kong. I was under
the impression that I had acknowledged it
and told you that as I was about to depart for
West Africa for three weeks or so I should
have to defer my reply until I came back.
My African visit, however, has now been postponed
and I bave had an opportunity to read your
memorandum and have done so with much interest.
I cannot say that I have been able to study it
carefully, but the following comments from one
who has had an opportunity to get an overall
picture of the C.L.S. but no actual experience
in a law office, may be of interest to you.
2. The present situation certainly seems to
contain some odd features - for example, a Registrar of the Supreme Court/apparently regarded as in the Attorney-General's Department
and dealing with subjects which are hardly appropriate to his office unless he is to be given an additional title such as "Registrar- General"; and assistant Crown Solicitors who
are not assistants to the Crown Solicitor.
