when he was next for promotion to be Inspector General of the Constabulary, he was passed over in favour of Capt. Bryson on the ground that he was not strong and had little military experience, and that his character did not command respect.
He is quite old enough (not less than 30) for this gaol appointment, and military experience is of course not necessary. As to his character, Capt. Moloney tells me that he does not drink; and in home conversation with me, he is really anxious to make a fresh start, if he could only get clear of the associations of the Gold Coast.
Capt. Moloney in his despatch 13939/82 sums up fairly enough the objections to be urged against appointing Mr. Dudley to be Inspector General of the Gold Coast Police. They appear to me to apply to his appointment to the Head of a gaol in another Colony, for sake of his coolness and firmness in dealing with natives.
He has had some experience, such as it is, of prison management on the Gold Coast; and with a couple of months' training in England, I think he would make as good a Superintendent as likely to be met with.

I have written to Mr. Dudley. It would be a good thing to have it out at once. If he accepts, a draft could be prepared.
Let me know that it is accepted.
