or illustrated impression.

The last recorded frame on each microfiche
shall contain the symbol —^(meaning "CON-
TINUED"), or the symbol y (meaning "END"),
whichever applies.

Maps, plates, charts, etc.. may be filmed at
different redtiction ratios. Those too large to be
entirely included in one exposure are filmed
beginning in the upper left hand corner, left to
right and top to bottom, as many frames as
required. The following diagrams illustrate the
method:

No doubt you have ^vondered at the delay in receiving some report of oar meeting of September 14th It

wi 1 rZh K P'^°^^^'^'"g« ''^ *^>« "«°*i"g ^« y«» will find them in the number of the Law Journal which

will reach you by concurrent mail. 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. If 200, »8.60 per annum, and if 800 $3 00 2 an
num, and It is m order to set before you a copy of the Journal that it is sent you I have no doubt thrt
there may be some confusion as to what amount is to be sent, but I think that can be obviCd, by each C eS
who receives this circular at once advising me of his intention to take the Journal or not. IsLll then wi hit

aiSth thaT; "; K ^f • T'^"" ' '"' ^' *^"^° '''""''^'"" *'^«''- -*--^- "^ subscribing, and nal or"
anM^rith that list will be the subscription price asked by Mr. O'Brien. 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,
