Confidential Despatch of the 25th. of May and to previous

correspondence on the subject of the appointment of a Third,

Judge of the Supreme Court and of the re-constitution of

the Court of Appeal in Hongkong, I have the honour to

transmit the enclosed copy of a letter dated the 31st. of

August from the Chief Justice urging that the appointment

of a Third Judge is now a pressing necessity owing to the

congestion of work in the Supreme Court.
