Advice to turn his hand to ~

anything has familiarised him with the practice, and his affability and good temper have rendered him popular with barristers, solicitors and solicitors' clerks.

Mr. Hazeland's father was an English Solicitor, and was in the employ of Government. When he died he was Crown Solicitor of this Colony.

I have &c.

James Russell

Chief Justice.
