Of the ten candidates hitherto examined, six were British subjects, and four were aliens; and as regards extraction, three were Eurasians, two German, three English, and two Chinese. Of the three successful candidates, the first, a Eurasian originally domiciled in Hongkong but residing in the Cape Colony; the second is born, bred and domiciled in England; and the third, a Eurasian now in England, is domiciled in one of the Coast ports, China.
