Sir,

I have the honour to submit to Your Excellency

a recommendation that the Attomey-General be raised to the

rank of King's Counsel.

Mr. Kemp has discharged the duties of his office for four years, during a period of unexampled

difficulty, and with marked ability. His work, combined with

the fact that he is the leader of the Bar in this Colony,

affords him I think a fitting claim to be of His Majesty's

Counsel.

I invite Your Excellency to address the

Secretary of State in support of this recommendation.

I have etc.. (84.) W. Reas Davies,

Chief Justice.

His Excellency

Sir Henry May, K.O.M.G.,

Governor,&c..
