practitioner that the routiue business of that office ere very simple in their details. [t does not require the legal Knowledge of a Chitty to take the evidence tnd proof of .deeds aad reeord them. There may be the responsibiliiy of- eare- lessness or. wilful neglect, but~ nothing fulther. Taking this into consideration, and the necessity for retrenchment ia the

pub'ic expenses, I would say ‘that the present salary of $1000 paid to the - Registrar should be reduced.

Uhe Assistint Registrar is nothing more then a copying clerk. I am at a@ loss to know what duties be can have to pers form. unless it may be occasionally, when the Registrar is absent to dinner, to record a deed that may perchance come into the office, His office is a sinecure, and should te abolished, the clerks being authorized to act when required. Let the clerks be paid a sum per folio, due regard being taken to the proper performance of the work. I will now state my objection to the Presbyterian's plan of duplicate docu-~ ments being filed in the office, thus obviat- ing the necessity of copying: In the first place, it would throw more work into the lawyers’ hands (in one sense I could not object to that); then it would favor the printer (he would not object to that), and the booksbinder would profit considerably by it, while the poor clerk would’ exclaim, ‘*Save me for my friends!’ All docus ments, under this arrangement, would have tobe done in printed form and uniform siz8, Or we shou'd have a disorganized mass of unshipely documertits bound up in book form, fit only for a curiosity shop, render- ing confusion worse confounded, owing to the varied circumstances connected with legal documents which every protessional man knows to be the case.

To the Editor of the Daily Examiner: Scr,— A correspondent in your paper of the 12th inst. wants to know if it would have been right for the Government to have accepted Mr. Crawford’s offer and farm out the Registry Office to him, would say decidedly no! The idea of a Government giving 2 monopoly of a public office to any person to trade on i, is. ridiculous; and, _under~~ the existing Statute, could not be done, neither should it be under any circumstances. At tbe same time, while [am oppesed to any such arrangement a- the one proposed by Mr. Crawivrd, | am of opinion that the pub.ic offices are not by any means properly regulated under the present Civil List Bill. Public servants should be paid m proportion to the res- ponsibility imposed upon them and also in proportion to the amount of work they have to perform more acquainted with the working of the Registry Department tuan any Other branch of the Government offices, I shail on this occasion devote my remarks solely io it. Lam notin favor of the way in whicn that office is at present timancially

Moving. The next public meeting takes Place on Friday night next, when a new; programme will be arranged,

reguiated. Neither dol approve of the plan put forvh by the Presbylerian. In the first place it is a well known fact ‘to

As Il am professionally }

the most beautifal style of Photograph known, possessing a:softness and delicacy of coloring that has never been equalled. Chis elegant picture has become deservediy popu’ar eisewhere, and ‘cannot fail to be- come so here.

Though the finish of our Photographs cannot be excelled, we would direct atten- tion to the beautitul

Gjlaee’ Pictures

which we make. They possess a highly enamelled surface, and are practically indes tructible, and will retain their freshness and beauty for any length of time. Uf they become soiled they can easily be cleaned, us they will not lose any of their beauty by Delng wet, This valuable quality, com-

bined with their remarkable elegance, Make them very suitable for presents;

While the difficulty of their production will prevent them ever becoming so common as to lessen their value. ur patrons cap bave one or all of their Photos finished in this style—an advantage which cannot be! obtained elsewhere.

We give special attention to making Groups of Families, Societies, Schools, &c.

Our pictures of children are sufficient evidence of ovr success in this difficult branch of our art.

Our »NLARGEMENTS, finished in India Ink, Pastel, Creyou, Oil and Water Colors, have made a favorable reputation for them- selves throughout the Lower Provinces.

Parties invending to have Photographs made will find it to their advantage to sit eariy, as the number of our cu;tomers makes some delay in the delivery of the Photos unavoidable. We prefer to have cur silters come by appointment.

Photographs can be Obtained for less money elsewhere : but in this case We ask that quality be given the preference; as- suring tne pablic that they will tiad our charges very moderate.
