The reason for sending you this copy is that, as you will see by the 1^ hshed mmutes of the meeting. Mr. O'Brien, the EcUtor of the paper, gavJa sh, -t addLs at our m^^^^^^^^^^^ made a suggestion as to placing the Journal within reach of the Division Court Clerks and affordfug us space for discussion etc. This offer was afterwards referred to E. H. Duagan Esq Clerk 10th n r Yn^w * with Mr O'Brien in the matter, the outcome of which is that Mr. Sien^s mirth^M^^^^^^^ I 100 Clerks subscribe the terms will be »4.00 per annum.

T. is is really the most practical wav u Xch we can secure the use of an organ cf the press, of weight with the public, wLh ^ra greltd slraT urn to such an Association as ours. You will see, oy the minutes that His Honor Judge Sinclairdid n"t care to rep y fully to many questions submitted to him. as he was taken somewhat by surprise, but made a'^erat offer to reply to questions submitted to him through our Association. Since that time Le has made as m rnore liberal offer which is this: He is about to publish his work on the D. C. Act of 1880, and hcLs offe ed through our 1st Vice President, to give one chapter in tliat work, entirely to replies to enquiries marbyThe Clerks as to matters touching the tariff and procedure, and in accordance wit£ this I would ask any clrk who has enquiries to make in reference to these subjects, to a. once formulate them to me and I shLl S ZkstoTolr't, " H- Hon- Judge Sinclair. In sending these enquiries, I would request my brothel Sof^ . . 7''f '^ to questions pertaining t, the application of the present Tariff, and to procedure under the existing Act, as it is only on such subjec^.s that we can expect any reply. I w;uTd ask that any such queries should reach me not later than the last day of this month ^ ^ ^ ^ ^°""» ^^^ I regret to say that there are yet a large number of Clerks who have not responded to our calls on them to become members. To such I would again appeal to at once become members. We are not trying to push the interests of any one individual Clerk, but we are working for the general benefit of the whole of tlie Clerk of the Province, and it is hardly fair that a small portion of them should bear the brunt of the work, both fi nancially and physically. If we cannot have your attendance at our meetings (and to many it is almost an iinpossibihty to attend) we can at least have the encouragement of your support and the knowledge that the taTn of v« ; I Z7 "^^f'Z^' *."•>'**"' ^^ly- there are many changes and improvements that we cL ob tarn, of vast benefit to us all. Trnsting we may have a hearty response from all. I remain, To P. S.— I beg to hand you herewith copy of Constitu Yours truly, H'Y JENNINGS, Sec-Treas. and By-Laws as adopted.
