April 24th 1865 Sir

I have the honour to apply to you respecting the Office of Chief Justice of Vancouver's Island, which I understand is vacant, and for which I beg to offer myself.

It is now about two years since I filled the appointment of Chief Magistrate and Judge of the Admiralty Court at the Falkland Islands, and for the manner in which I discharged the duties entrusted to me I hope I may be permitted to refer to the records of the Colonial Office.

I was

I was educated at Eton and graduated at Balliol College in 1852, I was called to the Bar in 1855, and have since that time regularly attended the Oxford Circuit with the exception of the two years when I was in the service of the Crown.

In making my former application for employment I had the honour to submit to the late Duke of Newcastle various testimonials from distinguished legal personages, and at present I only beg to enclose an official letter which I received on retiring from the service, and also one from Mr Huddleston Q.C. who is the leader of the Oxford Circuit, and who wrote it on my applying to Sir George Greyfor for the office of Stipendiary Magistrate at Manchester last year.

I have the honor to be Sir Your obedient servant Edward W. Goodlake RtRight HonbleHonourable Edward Cardwell &c &c &c
