I met Sir Edward O'Malley the other day and upon being asked of him what was being done about a new attorney general, said the place had been so long filled, and that Logan was acting as such. He said that the candidates thereupon remarked that Innes Logan would head the list. He was half inclined to appoint him.
He said he knew him well, having had experience of him as solicitor general when Resident Councillor at Penang, and found it hopeless to induce him to act on behalf of the Government when such appointment might infringe or affect the interests of any important commercial houses.
J... not by legal practice pure and simple, but mixed up with finance and commerce, and he seemed to have signed largely in insolvencies and liquidations in which he had abandoned life long friends.
I then sent for Mr. N. Crowell and asked him about Logan. Although my informant was not a lawyer, he has the leisure of an idler and is no duffer. As to his parentage, he is the son of a pseudo Oriental Ethnologist who used to deal with Chinese and Malay Amulets.
...and his mother was a Eurasian woman, and it is doubtful whether he was born...
