If the promotion of Mr. Hazeland is approved the post of Second Police Magistrate will be thereby rendered vacant. To this appointment I have to recommend Mr. J. R. Wood, Deputy Registrar and Appraiser.

Mr. Wood's promotion will render vacant the post of Deputy Registrar and Appraiser for which I have to recommend Mr. G. N. Orme, Assistant Land Officer for the New Territories. Mr. Orme is reading for the Bar and has passed one examination. He has been attached to the Registry for a brief period and he has acted successfully as Second Magistrate.
