You might tell the Governor that we
approve in principle and that we agree that Mr.Sheldon should have one of the posts and
that we will fill the other.
But there are one or two points we
must take up on the paper of particulars.
1. We decided that we could not have people
called Crown Counsel and Magistrates, and so
they must choose which is the title of the post
in question. This, however, will not prevent
the holders from being liable to act in the
other capacity.
2.
We cannot get people on the three
years' engagement.
3.
I cannot believe that the work of the
courts is conducted in Cantonese, and I do not know why these people should have to learn
that language.)
I am not going here into all the
considerations involved as these have been
set out in numerous despatches to various
Colonies.
I suggest that they should be
looked up and the objections put to the
Governor for further consideration.
