My Lord,
I have the honor to call your attention to the fact that the Legislative Council of the Cape of Good Hope have resolved upon a Plan of judicial reform which, if approved of by Her Majesty's Government, will render it necessary to appoint two additional puisne Judges in that Colony, and I venture to solicit your Lordship's favorable consideration at the same time.
I beg to lay the following circumstances before your Lordship under which I humbly submit I am entitled to the favorable consideration of Her Majesty's Government.
In the year 1843, I left Bombay, where I was established in practice at the Bar, and went to Hong Kong in the hope of obtaining a Judicial appointment which would obviously be made in that new Colony.
Shortly after my arrival, namely on the 26th of August, Henry Potinger, Her Majesty's Plenipotentiary and Chief Superintendent of British Trade in China, appointed me Legal Advisor to the Government and Clerk of the Legislative Council, which offices I held until the 21st day of June 1844.
During that time, six Ordinances for the Colony were drafted by me, and I was actively engaged in advising the Government on various matters relating to the administration of justice and the welfare of Her Majesty's Subjects in China.
