No. 57

I have the honor to report that under the authority of
"An Ordinance respecting the Supreme Court" passed during
the recent Session of the Legislative Council, I have appointed
Mr Richard Woods to be Registrar and Mr Charles Edward Pooley
to be Deputy Registrar of the Supreme Court.

2. These can scarcely be regarded as new appointments, for
these Gentlemen have for some Years filled the Office of
Registrar to the Courts of Vancouver Island and the Mainland
respectively, and are best qualified for the Offices, now for the
first time provided for by Ordinance, as well as from previous
service possessing the best claim to them.

3. I have given precedence to Mr Woods by appointing him
Registrar because he is the older man and the Senior Officer.
