With reference to your Confidential
despatch of November 16th, informing me that you had
selected ur Rees Davies for appointment as Chief Justice,
I have the honour to inform you that Mr Gompertz, Puisne
Judge, recently asked me that his name might be con-
sidered for the appointment of Attorney General if at
any time it should fall vacant.
2.
I informed ur Gompertz that you had
ruled that the Attorney General ahould not in future
act for the Chief Justice and that in consequence it
was probable that the Puiane Judge would from time
to time have an opportunity of acting in that position.
Pecuniarily the office of Attorney General would be no
gain to him since the salaries of the two appointments
are identical on a dollar basis. His object therefore in asking to be considered for the Attorney Generalship is of course solely that he may qualify himself in every way for promotion in the future to an appointment as Chief Justice, and if you consider that his retention of the office of Pulane Judge would be just as good a qualification as his assumption of the post of Attorney
