with less expense for the Dealing. This Ordi-
nance has been extended to the d. w. Islands
by the Rescript of 6 April 1881, and accord
ing to those e~nactments public Notice is given in
the st. Croix Avis whenever a Dealing meriting
such procedure is to be closed, or else, in
triAing and simple dealings, wherein there are
but few interested parties residing in the Juris-
diction, special announcements made to the in
terested parties. When that Ordinance was ex-
tended, the customary public yearly or semi
yearly Notices should have been done away with
but not before 1860 were they abolished by Go
vernment's Orders of "A May that year, which
clearly proves that no legal obligation had ex-
listed for issuing such Notices.
But the said Order from Government also con
tanned the promi,e, that instead of those Notices,
the Government would every year cause to be
inserted in the Newspapers of the Islands a stats
teal Account of the number of Dealings that
have been under administration and been closed
in each Of the Jurisdictions, also of the Number
remaining Enclosed and the time they have
been under administration. This has not been
observed.

To THE EDITOR OF THE "Sr. CRoIx Avis"

Sir,
A correspondent in No. IA Of the St. Croix
Avis complains, that the public Notice of Deal
ings that are closed, which in former times used
to be given yearly or semi yearly, has of late
been neglected or omitted and it would seem
that the correspondent thinks that parties in
terested in the dealings have thereby lost the
opportunity they otherwise had to obtain infor-
nation of the closure of dealings, which at times
might be necessary or beneficial to them.
But the correspondent is mistaken such infor-
nation is now afforded in a manner far more
ample, and much better.
It must, firstly, be noticed that there was never
any legal epactment requiring such yearly or
semi-yearly publication of Dealings that are
closed, and, as far as know, such a proceeding
was and is unknown in the Mothercountry. The
general laws for the treatment Of Dealings con-
tain rules to secure parties concerned a knowledge
of the period when judicial acts, or other acts
liable to appeal, are to be effected on dealings
but those rules were not followed here and as,
therefore, there could be no positive period or
point of time within which appeal to Courts Of
higher Instance could be effected, those publica-
tons were introduced, in order to obtain such
a period from which to reckon in cases of that
kind. But, then, it was a matter of course, that
the publication could not be requisite in the case
of dealings where there could never be any ques-
ton of appeal, or where the parties had been
given the information prescribed by Law con-
corning acts on the dealing that could be liable
to appeal.-The Ordinance of Is Jan, 1928, con-
corning the proper nd'speedy conduct of the
public Courts provides in 5 IL, that whenever
the day for producing the final Repartition in
Dealings has not been previously fixed at a meet
ing on the Dealing, the Dealingmaster shall
give all parties concerned necessary information
of the time when the Repartition will be produc-
ed, either by a public Notice in the Newspapers
IA days previously, or by special announcements
to the parties, if this procedure is attended

might be done without mentioning the
names of parties.
SaYauw remarked that The Council is not
only a legislative but'also an administrative
assembly.
The President said that according to 5 go
of the Colonial Law the Council has a
certain right to have the matter submitted,
but how far that enactment is to 90 is a
matter of doubt, and if taken literally
the Government could do nothing without
the Councils consent. He was inclined
to believe that the Government in sub
hitting doubtful cases had acted more
with a view to avoid responsibility.
It would be enough to submit the condl-
tons of the contracts.
.Faber would abstain from voting from
the motives already stated by him.
j. FareUy would ask if the Council has
a right to deal with the question at all
if not, why waste the Councils time by
bringing it in?
The Chairman said that the Presidency
by bringing it in had acknowledged the
right.
Latimey could agree with the remarks
of the 5th Crown Member, Jdrs, if lie had
coupled it with the abolition Of the Council
altogether; but as long as this Council
exists, the tenders Should be submitted.
He would beg to ask, If the Council re-
jects the proposal OF the Presidency, what
would be the result? Is it inthe Presiden-
cy's power, in that event, to alter the vote
Of the Council and give over the business
to the parties they wish?
The Chairman replied that in the event OF
the Council rejecting either of the propo-
sails, the President will Of course have to
decide what to do, but the Chairman would
in the most positive manner declare that
according to his conviction, the President
could not accept any Of the tenders, or do
any thing in that respect without the con-
sent of the Council under the Colonial Law,
The discussions then closed and the re-
suit of the voting was that the offer Of
Mr.. Ripperger for Frederiksted was agreed
to with II votes against % not voting,
and that Of Mr.. Johansen for Christiansted
with 7 votes for and 5 against-3 not yot-
ing.
