Cairns to Lytton

With reference to Lord Carnarvon's Letter of the 15th I beg
to suggest the name of Mr George H. Cary of Lincoln's Inn as a
Gentleman well qualified for the appointment of Attorney General of
British Columbia on the terms mentioned by Lord Carnarvon. Mr
Cary was called to the Bar in 1854, & has since practised regularly &
with some success in the Equity Courts. He was formerly a pupil in
my Chambers, & I have a very high opinion of his ability and energy.
