1. That Your Lordship's humble memorialist recently memorialized Your Lordship to be allowed to exchange offices with Mr. Morgan, Auditor General of Ceylon. Your Lordship was unable to accede to the prayer of that Memorial; but as the Reasons for that inability may not preclude the appointment of the memorialist to the post of Auditor-General of Ceylon in the event of its becoming

wishing to leave Hongkong
are set out in the
Memorial above referred to ; and he now begs to submit the following further considerations in support of his present application.
