14530.86 M. March speaks equally highly of him & his old pupils founded to scholarship in his honour 4933.84. There is no outsider who has equal claims, hardly one who has as high a character or who commands so much respect.

  1. March CPL. I hope his claims will be considered carefully. It will not be easy to move him to another place on promotion as his special value lies in Hongkong owing to his intimate knowledge of the Chinese people and their language. This last makes him particularly valuable, as no other man sent from another place could offer similar advantages. He is spoken of in the highest terms in 602/06.

No; M. Stewart is a fine officer (see 126770) and again in 12 Despatch touching intercral ouching and during considerate periods, acted with sound "judit and sense" as "Colonial Secretary".

In Stewart's favour are my good reports of him, which are the principal considerations, but they had not exclusively in view his seniority.

Mar 11 77.14/3. X Lister has a good claim on the ground of seniority (see 14530), but on the other hand, Stewart has done quite good work and given great satisfaction in some special assignments. I would offer the place to W W Stewart.

ATH. 14/5 once filled this post.
