Although it must clearly be understood that the Government is and will be under no obligation to provide further

employment, the office of Legal Officer is normally regarded as of a permanent nature, and in the ordinary course of events if the service and conduct of the officer is entirely satisfactory to the Government. and if he is considered in every way fit, medically and otherwise, to continue in office, and if replace- ment by engagement of some other person would become necessary but for his retention the prospects are that the Government will retain his services, if he so desires either by transfer to the permanent establishment, with conse- quential benefits and expectations, or by re-engagement for a further period under a fresh agreement. In the absence of express agreement with or decision of the Government to the contrary, any continued service after the expiry of the period of engagement will be monthly.

To arrive as early as possible in 1940 if the post of Registrar is filled by a promotion as recommended of an officer now serving in Hong Kong.
