As regards the interchangability of

Legal Officers between the posts of

Magistrate, Crown Counsel and Assistant

Registrar-General, I understand that there

Barristers may have to serve for periods

as Assistant Registrars-General.

Barristers as Legal Officers, but I

agree that in offers to candidates for

appointment as Legal Officers in Hong

appointee will be liable if called upon

to serve as Crown Counsel, Magistrate

or Assistant Registrar- General.
