As a clerk in the Mercantile firm of Rawle Brinker 460-

Upon failing in 1854 I was engaged as a clerk in the Office of the Superintendent of British Trade in China, for one year when I obtained

the appointment of third Clerk in the Colonial Secretary's Office in August 1855. I remained in that office until August 1856, when I became ... Clerk to Chief Justice Hulme, which office I continued to hold until I was appointed Clerk of Court in December 1860. I continued as Clerk of Court until September 1868 when I became Deputy Registrar. While holding the Office of Clerk of Court,

I was acting Deputy Registrar from March 1866 to November 1861,

and Acting Registrar from November 1861 to May 1862. For a considerable portion of the time during which Mr. Alexander was Acting Colonial Secretary the greater portion of the duties of Registrar devolved upon me.

Hoping that I have not failed in giving satisfaction in the performance of my duties, and that you will give each testimonial in my favor as you may deem proper
