The Premier said he did not think it nflgpgsary to appoint an extra Judge. In his opinion sonle of the Judges 7 of the Colony were overworked, while others had not enough to do. If a redistribution of work wa« arranged he thought the present r number of Judges was quite sufficient to carry on the business brought before the courts of the Colony.
