Sir J. Bisley.

1. Koler.

Mr. Southorn, who came in to see me this

morning, mentioned Mr. E. G. Alabaster, who is a

K. C. in Hong Kong, as having applied for a

Judgeship in the Colonial Service. Have we

heard anything about him and do we often appoint

people from the Bar direct as Puisne Judges.

Southern says that Mr. Alabaster is very good and

would do well.
