Sir,

Government House, 02,

Hongkong, 1st May, 1902.

I have the honour to transmit for your

favourable consideration the enclosed copy of a letter from

the Chief Justice in which he recommends the nomination of Mr.

E. H. Sharp as King's Counsel in this Colony.

2.

As stated in paragraph 5 of Mr. Goodman's

letter, there is not at present any King's Counsel in Hongkong,

and I have every reason to believe that Mr. Sharp's nomination

would be popular among the Barristers of the Colony and that

he would be a most suitable successor to those who have received

the same high honour during the past few years.

 

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient

Humble servant,

M.J. Gascoigne

Major-General,

Administering the Government.

JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.,
