my appointment as Acting Attorney General, and subsequently as Acting Chief Justice, they were reduced is sufficient indication of my having proved useful and beneficial to the Government, these and all points connected with the duties have been performed are sufficiently known to Sir John Davis, who, together with His Excellency Mr Bonham will, I feel assured, do me the justice to bring them to your Lordship's favourable notice.

Sir,

1228 May 410. 113 29 Feby 1400.

I have read despatch No. 15 of the 24 April transmitting Application from Mr. C. M. Campbell for an appointment in the Civil Service, and have to direct you to inform Mr. Campbell that his claims shall undoubtedly be considered with those of other Candidates, but that I fear that the prior claims upon me are too numerous to enable me to hold out to him much expectation.
