"Asphodel": Edgar Road, SANDERSTEAD. 12th January, 1912.

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.

  1. I was called to the Bar by the Honourable Society of Lincoln's Inn in the Hilary term 1900.
  1. The Judicial and Legal appointments I have held since 1900, have been as follows: On the 26th May 1900, I was appointed 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.
  1. I have also passed the Hong Kong Civil Service Examinations in Chinese under the higher standard.

I have the honour to be, Sir,

Your obedient servant,

Thaddeus Thomson Piggott

1st Police Magistrate, Hong Kong.

The Right Honourable Lewis Harcourt, K.P.

Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies.
