My Lord,

CP 16 SEP 09
Government House,
Hongkong, 14th. August, 1909.
I have the honour to acknowledge
you TQ727
the receipt of Your Lordship's Despatch No. 116 of the
30th. of last June in which you inform me that it may not
be possible to accede to Mr. G. A. Woodcock's request to
be allowed to retire on pension and that at the same time
you doubt whether it would be to the good of Queen's
College to transfer him to the post of Second Master, a
matter upon which I have myself had much misgiving.
2.
Your Lordship requests me to
suggest some other arrangement which would be likely to
prove more satisfactory in practice, and after careful
consideration I have come to the conclusion that the best
solution of the difficulty will be to appoint Kr. Woodcock
to be Chief Clerk at the Magistracy on his present salary
and to promote Mr. C. A. D. Melbourne, the present Chief
Clerk, to be Deputy Registrar and Appraiser vice Mr. J. R.
Wood
RIGHT HONOURABLE.
THE MARL OF CREWE
