He has had the honor to serve and, he has been, I believe, favorably reported of by them.

In 1801 he was appointed thereto to inquire into and report on treatment and condition of the liberated Africans in Seychelles and received the thanks of the then Secretary of State for his report and for the manner in which he carried out his mission.

He has held for a time the office of District Judge of the Seychelles Islands and latterly was appointed to represent and defend the interests of the Government of Mauritius before the Land Purchase Commission of that Island.

It is his intention to apply to your Lordship for an appointment in Hongkong and his application may reach your Lordship before the present one; knowing therefore his wishes and intentions and fearing lest the few opportunities of communication that exist between Mauritius and Europe should prevent the receipt in time of his own, I have ventured to place his name before your Lordship in the hope that his legal training, the knowledge of Law and experience which he has acquired during so many years as a practitioner and a Magistrate, and the faithful and conscientious manner in which he has always discharged the duties of the various offices he has held will secure your Lordship's favorable consideration of the present application.

I have the honor to remain,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's obedient servant,
