acting for ten months I was confirmed in the appointment. When it is conside ed that apart from my magisterial work my advice was almost necessarily accepted by the Government on such questions as the division of water rights or the thefight to deposit tailings-- questions often involving thousands of dollars--I submit that there is a reasonable
presumption that I acted with firmness and judgment in
the performance of these responsible duties. Can it be
believed that otherwise I should have been given the substan- tive appointment; or that having been given it, no protest would have been raised? In 1890, I passed the prescribed examination in law, obtaining 80 per cent. of full marks,
50 per cent. being needed for a pass, and being bracketed with my contemporary 1 Mr W. G. Maxwell, lately Orown
Solicitor, Penang, and now Resident of Kedah. I held senior
appointments to Mr Maxwell during most of my service in the Malay States, and his present position is a rough measure of what mine might have boen, had I remained there. In 1900,
during the Boxer troubles, I applied for transfer to China
in the hope that my knowledge of the Hakka country and lan- guage might prove useful, in case the disturbances should
spread to South China. The Secretary of State for the Oclonies caused me to be informed that my application had been noted as regards Colonial Appointments, and that it would be borne in mind on the occurence of suitable vacan-
cies. (S. of S. Despatch No. 303/00.) In 1901, 1 was offered the apointment which I now hold.
I accepted it
on the express understanding that I was "eligible" for
promotion".
