acting for ten months I was confirmed in the appointment.

When it is considered 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

the right to deposit tailings-- questions often involving

#

thousands of dollars--I subáit that there is a reasonable

presumption that I acted with firmness and judgment in

the performance of these responsible duties, Cab 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 1899, 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 Mr W. G. Maxwell, lately Crown

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 been, 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

Colonies 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, I was

offered the appointment which I now hold. I accepted it

on the express understanding that I was "eligible for

promotion". (Hongkong C. 0. D. 10169/06.) On that

occasion
