Appointments.
Your telno. 212: Hong Kong: Judicial
1.
Our impression from your despatch of
7 January was that the vacancy was consequential on the
appointment of one of the Puisne Judges to be Senior
Puisne Judge.
2.
We take it, however, from your telegram under
reference that you are now in effect creating an extra post
of Puisne Judge in addition to the vacant post of Senior
Puisne Judge. We can agree to the appointment of Baber on
that basis. This is on the understanding that, as
foreshadowed in your para. 3, the possibility of an
outsider will be considered next time round.
