COLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE,
HONGKONG, 20th December, 1883.
SIR,-You are already aware that upon the Governor's recommendation, as approved by Her Majesty the QUEEN, certain changes will be made in the constitution of the Legislative Council; and that for the future one Un-official Member of that body will, as a general rule, be appointed on the nomination of the Justices of the Peace.
As it is the intention of His Excellency to summon the re-constituted Council to meet for the despatch of business, as soon as Her Majesty's Order giving effect to the reform already approved has been received, it is desirable that the nomination of a Member by the Justices should be made at an early period.
#
His Excellency is advised that you, as the Senior Police Magistrate, are the proper Officer to convene and preside at a meeting of the Justices for that purpose.
You are, therefore, directed to convene a meeting of the Justices at an early date, and at some convenient place; and to invite them then and there to make their choice, and to return to me for submission to His Excellency the name of the Justice nominated.
His Excellency is advised that, in the absence of rules guiding the Justices in a matter of this nature, you should observe in conducting the proceedings the following rules, based on Parliamentary practice in England:----
1. The name of every Candidate will be proposed in writing by one Justice, and seconded by another.
2. No Justice will give more than one vote.
3. The voting will be by ballot.
No comments yet.
Private notes are available after approval.
