I imagine, to the officers in charge.

A should also think that, with the chance of an interview increased in private practice, to which solicitors in the Colonies mainly look, making these appointments in M = Parsons or any other newly arrived or nearly admitted Attorney already here, would be only too glad to take the Crown solicitorship at a salary of $200 a year or even less. If not, I am sure that such a salary would ensure an application from England from many practitioners of greater capacity than is possessed by any attorney now on the island.

Sir,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Victoria, Hongking,

30th April 1886.

In acknowledging your letter of yesterday relative to a Crown Solicitor, I am instructed to inform you that this appointment did not in 1844 meet the approbation of the Secretary of State, and that an application from Lieutenant Governor Caine in 1855 was also unavailing.

His Excellency The Governor is however on strong grounds put forward in your letter for the appointment.

The Honorable F. Chisholm Anstey, Esq.

Attorney General.
