qualifications are required except a good character and honesty, capacity to work and sufficient intelligence and

education to be able to acquire an adequate knowledge of

the law as it affects the work of the Court.

4.

For this post I would suggest a salary of

£400 rising by annual incrementa of £10 to £500, with free

quarters which will be provided by Government in the

neighbourhood of the Magistracy and supplied with the

necessary articles of heavy furniture.

I think it advisable to add that the

surroundings of the quarters will be Chinese so that it is essential that the person selected for appointment should be young and not too particular as to his comfort and convenience, A married man would, I am sure, find

the position impossible.

5.

The person appointed would if he proved

suitable have a reasonable prospect of promotion to the

post of First Clerk in the Hongkong Magistracy to which a salary of £500 rising by amual increments of £20 to £600

is attached.

6. Mr. G. Nichols of Furzie Close, Barton-on-

Sea, Hampshire, has been mentioned to me as a suitable person for employment of this nature and I should be glad if he might be informed of the vacancy and considered with

other candidates if he so desires.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord Duke,

Your Grace's most obedient

humble servant,

7.2.
