I had the honor to address your immediate predecessor, on the subject of the corrupt administration of his foreman at that time in the hands of a barrister of his Court by illegal delegation from the Governor, more especially that branch of the administration which was worked through a person named Caldwell, formerly of the medical staff at Singapore, whose criminal and other connexions with Chinese brothel keepers, pirates, and other Chinese people of the lowest order, appeared to me very short of fitting him any longer to fill the important post of Protector of Chinese (since Registrar General for Chinese) at Hongkong.
In January 1858 Reasons were shown why he should not be allowed to continue in that office.
The Government Commissioner, in whose selection I was not consulted, and which, to say the least of it, was little likely to strain matters against the accused - having been appointed, subsequently by The Right Honorable Sir Edward L. Bulwer Lytton, Bart., Secretary of State for the Colonies.
