Appointment requires further consideration.

I am inclined to think that while Mr. Kyske is drawing his pay in lieu of pension, the appointment is vacant, it should not be filled in the sense of full pay; but we need not trouble you with this point.

Rec'd 4 JUL 04

Hongkong. 4th. June, 1904.

I have the honour to recommend the appointment of Mr. Arathoon Seth, Deputy Registrar and Appraiser since 1895, to succeed Mr. Norton-Kyshe as Registrar of the Supreme Court.

2. Mr. Seth joined the Service of this Colony as far back as 1868 and has held various important posts, which he filled with ability, prior to his appointment to be Deputy Registrar. He was called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn in 1893 and acted as Registrar in 1898 and has been so acting since Mr. Kyshe left the Colony. He is a hardworking Officer who is thoroughly conversant with the duties of the post of Registrar. In addition to his other qualifications, he speaks both Cantonese and Hindustani, which are extremely useful to him in the discharge of his duties.

3. In the event of your making this appointment, I would submit the name of Mr. J. H. Kemp, Passed Cadet, to succeed Mr. Seth as Deputy Registrar and Appraiser. Mr. Kemp was recommended for the post of Deputy Registrar and Accountant in Sir William Gascoigne's Despatch No.280 of the 2nd. July, 1902, to which I beg to refer you. He has been acting...
