GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
HONGKONG. 4th. October, 1911.
As I understand that Sir F. T. Piggott
will retire at the end of April next, I have the honour to
request that the appointment of his successor may not be delay-
-ed longer than is necessary.
2.
You have ruled that the Attorney-
-General should not act as Chief Justice, and Mr. F. A. Hazeland
who acted as Puisne Judge during Mr. H. H. J. Compertz's absence
on leave last year will himself be absent on leave next summer.
I shall, therefore, find it extremely difficult to fill the
vacancy temporarily and it is impossible for the work of the
Supreme Court to be carried on (except for brief periods during
vacation) by a single Judge.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient, humble servant,
Governor,&c..
