2. Mr. Wise has always performed his duties as Puisne Judge to the entire satisfaction of the Community and I recommend his application for your favourable consideration.

If you agree

Answer that if or when Sir J. Carrington's retirement takes place, Mr. Wise's claims will be considered with those of others.

Let Mr. Cox see when he returns. I think the Chief Justiceship when vacant might well be filled by the transfer of a Chief Justice from some colony.

I. M. Goodman be given the vacancy thus created, if it is a good place; if not, I think he should have the Chief Justiceship of Hongkong.

He was, it will be remembered, of British Honduras.
