I have the honour to inform Your
Lordship that in my opinion it has become necessary to
appoint a European clerk to the post of 2nd. Clerk in the
Colonial Secretary's Office on a salary of £300 rising by
annual increments of £10 to £400 per annum.

The present 2nd. clerk, Mr. R. H.
A. Craig, was transferred to that post on the 10th. March,
1901, from the Gaol Department, where he had been serving
under his father, who is Assistant Superintendent of
Victoria Gaol. The then Colonial Secretary, Mr. J. H.
Stewart-Lockhart, required a European for the post and Fr.
Craig,
by comparison with the clerks who had preceded him,
gave satisfaction and was confirmed in the office.

When Mr. Hay became Colonial

was found that Mr. Craig was not capable of discharging the
