Judges.

Each Judge should have assigned to him a district, as large as convenient, within which it should be his duty to make himself master of the history of its Native inhabitants, affecting the titles of their lands. All such information should be recorded in convenient forms, and copies furnished at the office of the Court. This would facilitate after-investigations, particularly if made by another Judge. By confining the work of each Judge to one district, he would become more efficient within that district. I do not doubt that he might soon acquire influence among the Natives of his district of great political as well as social value. He might, ere long, possess more knowledge on Native land matters in his district than any even of themselves, and so become a recognized authority as well as a Judge.
