you approved of

the appointment of Mr. J. H. Kemp, Passed Cadet, to succeed

Mr. Arathoon Seth as Deputy Registrar and Appraiser, I have

the honour to transmit herewith a letter from Mr. J. W. Lee-Jones,

Deputy Registrar and Accountant, in which he asks for

a reconsideration of the appointment of Mr. Kemp to a post to

which he considers himself entitled, or, failing that, for a

transfer to some other post, commensurate with his experience

and attainments in another Colony.
