I have the honour to refer to Sir P. Cunliffe-

Lister's (now Lord Swinton) despatch No.121 of 28th March,

1935, and to inform you that I have appointed, provisionally.

and subject to His Majesty's pleasure, Dr. W.B.A. Moore,

O.B.E., to be a member of the Legislative Council during

the temporary absence from the Colony of the Honourable

Dr. A.R. Wellington, C.M.G.

Dr. Wellington is at present absent from the

Colony for the purpose of attending the meeting of the

Advisory Council of the League of Nations Health

Organisation, Eastern Bureau, in Singapore; and it was

considered desirable to appoint Dr. Moore, who has acted

as Director of Medical and Sanitary Services in Dr.

Wellington's absence, in order that the Resolutions on the

death of His late Majesty King George V and the accession

of His Majesty King Edward VIII might be passed in a full

Council.

A copy of the instrument appointing Dr. W.B.A.

Moore is enclosed.
