became Private Secretary to the late Governor of Hongkong (Sir J. Pope Hennessy), who made him Inspector of Government Schools, in addition to other posts, which he was subsequently obliged to resign. At last he had a quarrel with his patron.
For myself, I have come here directly determined to do my duty impartially, without prejudice against or favour for any individual - Dr. Eitel is certainly a man of some ability and warning: and during his long residence in China, he has acquired considerable knowledge of the laws and customs of that country, and of the local dialects, (Punti and Hakka), which are chiefly, though by no means exclusively, spoken in Hongkong. If I find that he does his duty efficiently, as Inspector of Schools, I will give him all proper support, and will shield him from the personal obloquy under which he unfortunately labours.
