6 copy of which was ever transmitted to him, and which, indeed, he never saw till several years after he had en- tered into office in the library. Having thus briefly explained his views upon this point, Mr Repp would next direct attention to the fact, that the charges against him, laid before the Faculty in the Curators’ statement, all refer to mechanical employment — and mechanical employment of such a nature and degree, that even if demanded of a common porter it would have been held excessive. In resisting injunctions of this kind, Mr Repp was not actuated solely by the considerations above stated, but also by the conviction, that his undertaking such a charge would inevitably tend to bring the library into a state of still greater confusion. It appeared, too, that Mr Repp was not unsupported among the Curators themselves, either in his general or special views with regard to this matter, unless he entirely misunderstood the expressions of some of these gentlemen ; for, 1. About two years ago, at a time when one of the present Curators came into office, that gentleman stated to Mr Repp, “ that his opinion was, that Mr Repp’s situation in the Law Room was very unsuitable, but that lie considered it only as temporary ; adding, that it being now near the close of a session, Mr Repp would retain the charge of the Law Room till the end of it; but, in course of the next vacation, resume the charge of the Historical Department.” 2. The present Lord Advocate, both at the time he was Curator, and subsequently, frequently expressed the opinion that Mr Repp’s appointment was of a literary, and not of a mechanical nature. 3. Mr Thomas Maitland also expressed to Mr Repp an opinion that his appointment was chiefly of a literary character. 5. The Curator .above mentioned, (No. 1,) who is well acquainted with the library, seeing Mr Repp’s note of Remonstrance and Protest to the Curators, after he had been charged with attendance in the sixteen repositories of books in the lower part of the library, agreed with Mr Repp, “ that it was impossible to undertake such a charge.”
