Sir,
In reply to your despatch Confidential of
January 19 th, 1912 directing me to furnish a report on
ar Hazeland's qualifications for a Judicial appointment

Attorney General in reply to a confidential enquiry from
me on the subject.

I have only to add that my own opinion
so far as I have had an opportunity of forming one
is that Mr Hazeland is an officer who commands respect
and does his work conscientiously but is somewhat slow
in getting through it.
I have the honour to be,
sir,
Your most obedient, humble Servant,
Shingars
Governor, eto,.
