From F. Platt, Esq. 2 C.

ample testimony to your being,

288

in every respect, well qualified for the office of Chief Magistrate at Hongkong. It is now, I think about 15 years since you left my chambers and I have much pleasure in adding my personal testimony to your being assiduously following the Profession, and particularly adapting yourself to it in all its branches, and particularly to the Criminal Law. Trusting that you may be successful in the office, Believe me,

Yours sincerely,

Thomas Chitty to H. J. Davies Esq.

His career at Cambridge where he obtained high honors fully entitled him to expect greater success at the Bar in his own country. I know him to be a man of sound professional as well as general ability, and I have no doubt that he would do credit to any high judicial appointment. I am informed that he is anxious to proceed to the Colony where I am.
