Chief Justice.
Hong Kong 31st March, 1859.
The Chief Justice has been
for some months past
under medical treatment. He appears to be suffering from incipient cataract with a congestion of blood to the head, which added to other circumstances within knowledge makes him very restless and unable to fix his attention, for any length of time, on
