REG 1 OCT 10

Government House,

423

Hongkong, 13th. August, 1910.

I have the honour to inform Your Honour that

the Secretary of State for the Colonies has decided to create a

separate Crown Solicitor's Department and to appoint a Crown

Solicitor without private practice, and that I have submitted the

name, among others, of Mr. J. H. Kemp, Registrar of the Supreme

Court, as that of an Officer who when duly called to the Bar

would in my opinion be suitable incumbent for the new post.

Should the Secretary of State approve this

recommendation whatever suggestions this Government may make

for filling the vacancy in the Registry of the Supreme Court,

will be communicated to you before they are made.

I have etc.,

(sd.) 7. H. May,

Officer Administering the Govern-

*ment.

His Honour

The Chief Justice.
