the Supreme Court has its chief Interpreter,

but he is rapidly approaching the point of superannuation,

and all the other Interpreters in the Colony are Chinese who are not certainly trusted.

Some action should therefore be taken at once.

When Sir Hercules Robinson was Governor of Hong Kong,

he strongly urged upon the Secretary of State the necessity of providing

for the Courts a Body of English Interpreters who from their education and status would prove reliable Officers and supply the great want which was felt even at that time.

Rozario was some 15 years younger than he is now.

This representation led to the establishment of the Hong Kong Student Interpreters or Cadets.
