July, 1896.
I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your letter
of the 22nd ult., No. 12795/96 asking me to favor the Right
Honorable the Secretary of State with any observations which
I might have to offer on the papers in that letter enclosed
relating to alleged irregularities in the Registry of the
Supreme Court of Hong Kong.
In answer thereto I beg to state,
2.
In the letter of the Registrar to the Colonial
Secretary dated the 5th May last reference is made to certain irregularities to which Mr. Kyshe called attention in
his appeal to the Secretary of State, the acting Chief
Justice in commenting on these in his memorandum says:
(Mr. Kyshe) speaks of certain grave and unchecked irregularities" which he had discovered. the neglect of several years
past!-
Mr. Goodman then continues and says:
"In his letter of the 5th May 1896 Mr. Kyshe specifies
these grave irregularities under six heads.
"
3. I assume therefore that in his first mentioned
letter Mr. Kyshe contented himself with imputing to his
"
predecessors in office certain grave and unchecked irregularities the neglect of several years past" and being called
upon to furnish particulars thereof he specified the six
cases mentioned in his letter of the 5th May 1896.
4. I consider that the sentence in the letter of the
4th May 1896 quoted by the acting Chief Justice constitutes
the Under Secretary of State
