Government House,

Hongkong, 29th. March, 1909.

My Lord,

You

The appointment of Mr. H. H. J.

Gompertz to the post of Puisne Judge, reported in Your

2430 of Lordship's Despatch No. 36 of the 12th. ultimo, renders

vacant the post of First Magistrate, to which I have the

honour to recommend the appointment of Mr. F. A. Hazeland,

Second Magistrate.

2.

Mr. Hazeland, whose service dates

from 1878, has during a period of over thirty years been

attached exclusively to the Registry of the Supreme Court

and the Magistracy, and he has given complete satisfaction

in the performance of his duties. He is a Barrister-at-Law

and he possesses the almost more important qualification as

regards this Colony of a thorough knowledge of Cantonese.

Mr. Hazeland is not a Cadet but I consider that his claims

to the post are greater than those of any of the present

Cadeta.

LE RIGHT HONOURABLE

THE BARL OF CREWE,

&c
