The assistant to the librarian shall have charge of the library for the use of the justices of the Supreme Court. He shall attend at the county courthouse from ten o'clock in the morning until four o'clock in the afternoon, and as much longer as any justice of the Supreme Court shall require, and he shall be responsible for the safety and condition of the books in the library and of the furniture in the library room, and for the return of all books taken to the court rooms or elsewhere. No books appertaining to that library shall, under any circumstances, be removed from the county courthouse, and the assistant librarian shall enforce all orders in regard to the safe-keeping and preservation of such books as shall be made from time to time by a justice of the Supreme Court.

Rule 4. Interpreters

The Justices of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the First Department will detail one of the interpreters to act as chief interpreter whose duty it will be to attend at the courthouse on each day, except on Sundays and legal holidays, from ten o'clock in the morning until four o'clock in the afternoon and until each Trial and Special Term of the court shall have adjourned. He shall keep a record, in a book to be provided for that purpose, of the time on each day at which each interpreter of the court shall report for duty and the time at which each interpreter leaves the courthouse. He shall assign each interpreter to duty in the particular branch of the court at which his services are required, and shall make a monthly report to the Presiding Justice of the Supreme Court in the First Department as to the attendance of

interpreters, specifying the days and portions of days that each interpreter shall have been absent and the manner in which each of the interpreters has performed his duties, and with such other recommendations as he shall consider proper. He shall at all times obey the directions of any of the Justices of the Supreme Court as to the performance of his duties and furnish interpreters for the several parts of the court when called upon to do so. The other interpreters shall attend on each day, except on Sundays and legal holidays, from ten o'clock in the morning until four o'clock in the afternoon, and as much later as any branch of the court is in session. They shall be under the general direction of the chief interpreter and shall attend at each branch of the court as required either by him or by a Justice of the Supreme Court. Each interpreter shall also render any service required by any Justice of the Supreme Court, whether in court or out of court. They shall report to the chief interpreter their arrival at and departure from the courthouse and generally shall obey his instructions in regard to the performance of their duties. When not actually engaged at a term of the court the interpreters will be in attendance at a room to be provided for that purpose, so as to be always available when their services are required. (Amended Dec. 16, 1908.)

Rule 5. Crier and assistant

The crier of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court shall assign the attendants to the Appellate Division and to the various Special and Trial Terms of the Supreme Court.

He shall report to the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court any one of such attendants
