Messrs. H. H. J. Gouferty and F. A. Hazeland have applied for the post of First Magistrate, in the event of Mr. Smith's retirement. I have to request that you be informed that these applications have been received, but that as the office of Judge has not become vacant, there has been no occasion to consider them further.
For. No. 901, 16 Aug.

DESPATCH
HONG KONG
No. 29909
16 AUG
(Subject.)
French Sphere of Influence
Two Kwang provinces included in Macmillan's Atlas.
Cause for concern that the report of French claims is undesirable.
(Minutes.)
Copy labelled "These might be published".
Cause for correspondence with Sahillues regarding maps of doubtful territory & boundary to the Govt. Office concerned.
The Times, with successive Editors, normally kept up to date, is a great help in this case. But I suppose it would be difficult to ascertain the details.
I have spoken to Mr. George Macmillan about this.
