4. When I applied for the post of Deputy Registrar and Accountant in 1901 Mr. Kemp was, as far as I am aware, my only competitor, and Secretary of State Chamberlain in his despatch of 29th August 1902 settling the appointment expressed himself as follows:- "As the post is one of those, for which it has been decided that Cadet Officers shall 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 Mr. J. W. Jones who has held the acting appointment for so long and is reported 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."
Under the circumstances therefore, I consider that my seniority
and claims, as far as Mr. Kemp is concerned in this Registry,
settled ones and for ever by Secretary of State Chamberlain and an
attempt to place Mr. Kemp before or above me at any further time
unjust, such has now been done and whether rightly or wrongly I
labour now under a deep rooted sense of grievance and injustice;
misfortune has greatly affected my health.
5. In 1904 various changes took place in this Registry, Mr. Merton
Kayao retired and Mr. Both the Deputy Registrar and Appraiser was
appointed Registrar, while Mr. Kemp was appointed Deputy Registrar
and Appraiser.
For this later appointment I was not a candidate but on hearing
of Mr. Kemp's appointment to the post I wrote to Mr. Secretary
of State Lyttleton on the subject as I considered, having for years
been junior to Mr. Both, had the most laborious work in this Registry
I was fairly entitled to take up the more congenial work of Deputy
Registrar and Appraiser. I wrote with very little hope of success,
the substantive appointment having been already made and I was
not therefore surprised to be subsequently informed that no
changes could be made.
