C.O. 36047

IREC Rect 1-1 OCT 01

Sir,

I have the honour to submit myself as a candidate for the appointment of Second Police Magistrate in the event of the said office being vacant.

After reading law at Trinity Hall Cambridge for four years, I was called to the Bar at the Inner Temple in 1891. I then worked in a barrister's chambers for nearly three years, and subsequently practised in this colony from 1895 until May 1900, when I began to act in my present post of First Clerk at the Magistracy, my appointment whereto was confirmed in September 1900.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient servant

Melbourne

TO

The Right Honourable

Joseph Chamberlain, M.P.

Secretary of State for the Colonies.
