He was appointed to the responsible post of Captain Superintendent of Police in February 1893 and became Colonial Secretary in April 1902. He has administered the Government on three separate occasions.

3. My predecessor expressed to me the opinion that Mr. May was well qualified for appointment as a Governor, and my own judgment endorses the view expressed by Sir M. Nathan. During the short time I have had the honour...

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE EARL OF ELGIN, K.G., &c., &c., &c.
