Registrar-General, each with a seat in the Legislative Council, appears to have given general satisfaction in this community.

The promotion of Mr Stewart renders vacant the office of one of the two Police Magistrates of Hongkong. I have been requested to transmit to Your Lordship the enclosed applications for this vacancy. They are from...

1. Mr. Arrathoon Seth, an Armenian by race, who was appointed, on the commendation of my predecessor, Sir John Hope Bennessy, to be Clerk of the Executive and Legislative Councils. He has neither the social position, nor the legal qualifications for a post which should be held by an Englishman, and a Barrister.

2. Mr. Stewart Lockhart, one of the passed Cadets, a young gentleman of high character and good abilities, and a proficient Chinese scholar, now in charge of the Opium Department, and deserving promotion in the Executive Offices. It is believed that Mr Lockhart would make an excellent Police Magistrate.
