Crown Solicitor
The Office is now vacant and questions have been raised about who has the right to make an application for the position.
Until recently, Mr. Jobert (or Jobertis/Joburni) was Acting Crown Solicitor, supported by the Colonial Authorities. His application was in due form, but his brother here (whom I have sent a letter to) would be a helpful contact.
I am most obliged to be able to help. Mr. Joburni is a worthy member of this Department and a personal friend of mine.
My Lord,
Government House,
Hong Kong, 5 September 1883.
I have the honour to forward for Your Lordship's favourable consideration an application for the post of Crown Solicitor made by the Acting [Crown Solicitor?].
