Following for Maclehose from Duncan Watson

Your tel no 11 of 4 January.

We have been giving consideration to appointment

of Chief Justice if Roberts is not available. There is

not an outside candidate. We note your recommendation

in your tel under reference of Briggs, but in your

in Despatch of 4 August last you cluded Huggins as a

possible candidate. Your Despatch compared Huggins with

Roberts, but not with Briggs. We would be grateful for

a comparison between Briggs and Huggins and if we may

have your views by early telegram.
