Sir,

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of May

Gen Gascoigne's Despatch No 280. of the 2nd ult.

on the subject of the vacant appointment of

Deputy Registrar and Accountant of the Supreme Court of Hong Kong.

2. As the post is one of those

for which

it has been decided that Cadet officers

be regarded as having preferential claims, I

should, in the absence of special circumstances

have had no hesitation in approving the appointment

of Mr Kemp, but as matters stand,

I consider it to be impossible without great

hardship to disregard the claims of Dr J.W.

Jones who has held the acting appointment for

so long and he is reputed to have performed the duties of the

office satisfactorily. I have therefore come

to the conclusion that the latter officer should

be appointed and have informed him accordingly.

3. Mr Jones' promotion will take effect from

the day on which Mr Hazeland was confirmed in

his present appointment of Police Magistrate,
