Judge Wallace orders that for the presenttemporary regulation of the Commissionersbusiness those rules bo now adopted

1 One chief clerk deputized In ease of neceultytoact for tIme Milpplnc Commlulontr In his officialcaiaolty and to be allow ad a ailary not to exceedS3 Aiu per annum

In conclusion Judge Wallace says that whiletho law authorizes and emponurs the Court toremove any Shipping Commissioner whom Itmay have reason to believe does not propertyperform Ills duties he still believes that SirDuncan should have a hearing on the proofand records of his management If he desires toretain the office In order to show that he hasproperly performed Its duties For this pur ¬
