my early appointment to this Colony, and do classify me as a "Foreman of Works" with a Salary of $1600, and I must

state it was not in accordance with my professional qualifications. My profession is that of a Civil Engineer - my five years' experience

were passed with Mr. W. Gwyther, now of Temple Chambers; and to whom I would

beg to refer, also to Mr. J. A. Gwyther, Manager of the Chartered Bank

of India, Threadneedle St. E.C., and

further in 1878, I was admitted an Associate to the Institute of Civil Engineers, and I cannot but consider that my reputation, and

position in this Colony, have

also received a severe check by this false representation of facts to your Lordship.

I would now beg your Lordship's re-consideration of my

case and

grant me an appointment in

the Public Works Department.
