I have the honour to ask that in the event of a vacancy

occurring in a Judicial appointment either in the Straits

Settlements or in the Federated Malay States that my name may

be remembered as a candidate for the same.

2.

I was called to the Bar by the Honourable Society of

Lincoln's Inn in the Hilary term 1900.

3.

The Judicial and Legal appointments I have held since

1900, have been as follows: On the 26th May 1900, I was appoint-

ed to act as Police Magistrate and Coroner. On the 7th June

1901, I was appointed to the post of 2nd Police Magistrate, and

on the 21st March 1909, to the post of 1st Police Magistrate and

Coroner.

From October 1909 to April 1910, I acted as Attorney General

Puisne

of Hong Kong, and from May 1910 to May 1911, I acted as

Judge of the Supreme Court of Hong Kong.

I have also passed the Hong Kong Civil Service

Examinations in Chinese under the higher standard.

Your obedient servant,
