The Station, Mong Kok,
The Honorable Sir,

At the request of Mr. Huffam, I have the honour to forward and beg to bring to your consideration the enclosed application by him to be appointed Registrar of the Supreme Court in the place of the late lamented W. Alexander.

He also desires me to inclose Testimonial which he has received from Mr. Justice Ng Choy. Mr. Huffam is enabled to state, in his own words, that he has not failed in giving satisfaction in the performance of his duties.

I have known Mr. Huffam since early in 1861, when, as Attorney General, I had constant intercourse with him.

Gardiner Austin,
Colonial Secretary.

To the Hon'ble
The Chief Justice.
