Government House,
Hongkong, 14th.October,1909.
I have the honour to forward at
the request of Sir Henry Berkeley, K.C., a letter addressed
to Your Lordship by him, desiring to be reinstated in the
Colonial Civil Service.
2.
It will be within Your Lordship's
recollection that Sir Henry Berkeley was formerly Chief
Justice in Fiji. He took up the appointment of Attorney-
-General in Hongkong at (he informs me) heavy pecuniary
loss expecting to be made Chief Justice shortly after the
transfer. This promotion was not conferred upon him, and he
was compelled in order to meet his liabilities to retire to
practise at the Bar. Having freed himself from his
liabilities he is anxious to rejoin the Service.
3.
Since his retirement Sir Henry
Berkeley has at various times acted as Attorney-General,
and he has recently held that post during the absence on leave
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
THE EARL OF CRIME,
