had no hesitation in selecting Mr. Kemp for the appointment

of Registrar seeing that of the two Deputy Registrars he is

the more capable. Thereupon Mr. Lee-Jones addressed a

letter to the Colonial Secretary in which on the score of

length of service and on other grounds similar to those

recited in his Memorial, he insisted on a prior claim to

the appointment. To this letter the Colonial Secretary by

I have since the above arrangements were made appointed Mr. C. D. Melbourne, First

Clerk at the Magistracy, to act in Mr. Kemp's substantive

appointment as Deputy Registrar and Appraiser and I have

be able to discharge the duties of the responsible posts

to which he has been appointed to the satisfaction of the

Government and of the public.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient,

humble servant,

M[ir]lutan

Governor, &C..
