Possessinj;: ability equal to any in the country, and exluhiting tlie most untirinfj; industry, it is api>arent tliat the Chancellor and Vice-Cliancellors are pressed with labor which shoidd not be imposed ; they exert themselves to the utmost, and still the business of the Court is in arrear. It is tliought that a largo amount of routine matters, and of business of (MJinparatively small importance, might, witii perfect safety, be committed to the ^[asters and Deputy Registrai's — subject, of course, to appeal to the Court above — making these Oiliccrs, in elfoct, analogous to tiie (bunty Judges. It is l)elieved that the Court would cheerfully avail themselves of a safe and proper mode of transferring then- duties in such matters to those professional men who, ^vith due caution, have been appointed by the Court, Masters and Deputy Registrars. vyrxHAj We, (tliough possessing no proper authority, but depending on thw sympa- Uictic feeling of our l)relliren.) sugg-^ that a inteting of the Masters and Deputy Registrars be held at the .-jt*-J«^t_v^^^.

We iiave mentioned an early date for tliis Meeting, because as Parliament will ])r(>lial)ly meet in Fel)ruaiy next, it is important tliat whatever be done should be done without delay.
