268
The decision of the Commander to me is fraught with consequences of so ruinous a nature that, unless averted, I shall be constrained to appeal to Her Most Gracious Majesty in Council, or to Parliament.
As this course may be offensive to His Lordship, who, through misapprehension or want of time to look into it, has neglected to do me justice, I deem it my duty to write to you, Sir, to beg that you will intercede with His Lordship to order that the pay I have solicited, and which I cannot be again employed, that compensation may be awarded to me for an abrupt dismissal from the Public Service.
I take this opportunity to forward attested copies of Correspondence had during the present month, having relation to the cause of my Suspension, and to which it may be necessary to refer, in the event of further discussion on this subject.
I have the honour to be,
(signed) W. Farrants.
