f. That the memorialist has taken the liberty of making enquiry of Mr. Lucas of the Colonial Office regarding certain particulars connected with a possible application by the Memorialist to be appointed acting Auditor General, Ceylon, or failing that, Assistant Secretary, Ceylon, and pending a reply, he is not in a position to submit a definite application for either of those appointments. But in the meanwhile the memorialist ventures to express the hope that the considerations which he has now submitted, in addition to the more important ones submitted in his previous memorial, may induce Your Lordship to favourably regard his Application for the permanent appointment of Auditor General of Hong Kong in the event of that post becoming vacant.
Wherefore, as in duty bound, Your Lordship's humble memorialist will ever pray.
