Gadet, but he has acted as Felice Magistrate in Hongkong on various occasions, and has been a Police Magistrate in the New Territories since 1900. may therefore be regarded as qualified.

HO

Mr Kemp han passed ith honcurs all his examinations for the Bar, and is only waiting the c-crtunity to keep a few more terug in London to be called. He has acted both as First and as Second Police Maglatouto on various occasions; Las been Deputy Registrar of the Supreme Court since 1908; has acted for a considerable time as Regis- trar and has been acting as First Magistrate since April last. He has given great satisfaction in all the posts that he has hold.

Mr Hazeland is a Barrister, His long service has been entirely in the logul Departments. Hewas appointed Second Police Magistrate in 1901 in pre- ference to Mr J,H,Acap who was not considered qua- lifiod at the time, and has acted for long perioda 23 First Mugistrate. He has given ontire su- tisfaction.

When the post of First Police Magistrate wus last vacant, Kr Genport i was appointed over Mr Hazeland's head. He had at the time been culled to the Bar.

Mr Irving and Ur Hallifax being qualified have in my view preferentiel claims over r Hazeland for the post of First Magistrate. Of the two I consider that Mr Haliifar is the best qualified for this legal appointment. This is a fiting paper

on which to mention that Mr Geth inforas e thut he is advised to take vacation leave this summer, and that he proncses to retire on the expirationcf the leave.

For the post of Registrar I feel confident that no better selection could be made thun Mr J. H.Kemp.

I Lave consulted Mr Bowley on this point and he agreed with me.

(There follow some recomendations as to promotions to other Departments includ- ing Dia.rict Officer Taipo.

Omitted.

The csteriņi to tho minute is marked a3 referring to these.

B.A.I. > Whichever candidato Your Excelency decides to recommend for First Magistrate, the fact should be emphasised that in this Colony it is absolutely essential that the agistestos should have a good knowledge of Cantonese. The Crown Solicitor has expressed the opinion hat such knowledge is more essential thun a knowledge of law. Posterint.

Moreover the former would be thrown avay in a post like that of Assistant District Officer, (Taipe) which can be well filled by any avoruge Jud.t.
