THE MASTER OF THE SUPREME COURT.

Sir,

Colonial Secretary's Office,

11th September 1878.

I am directed by the Governor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of 5th instant forwarding Mr. Ackroyd's application for the post of Acting Substitute Procureur General, and to inform you in reply that there is no vacancy.

2. I am to add, that the merits of Mr. Ackroyd, as brought to notice by you, will be borne in mind.

TO THE HONORABLE

THE COLONIAL SECRETARY,

Sir,

I have, &c.,

(Signed) H. COCKBURN STEWART,

Acting Assistant Colonial Secretary.

SUPREME COURT OF MAURITIUS

MASTER'S CHAMBERS,

September 1879.

I have the honour to forward herewith an application from Mr. Edward Ackroyd, barrister at law, Chief Clerk in this office and Acting Substitute Master for the appointment of Substitute Procureur General. In September 1878 I forwarded a similar application and I stated therein that I had no hesitation in strongly recommending Mr. Ackroyd to His Excellency the Governor. I have known Mr. Ackroyd since 1866 and have had daily opportunities of judging of his abilities, character and knowledge of the laws of this Island, and it is with much pleasure that I am able to certify that he possesses all the qualifications required for the office he solicits. Mr. Ackroyd, besides an intimate acquaintance with matters connected with the Supreme Court, has acquired experience as District and Stipendiary Magistrate, and I confidently recommend his present application to the favourable consideration of His Excellency the Governor in the hope that a deserving, long-tried Government Servant will obtain recognition for many years of good service.

I have the honour to be

Your most humble Servant
