No. 28 May 1836.
In reply to your query of this day's date having reference to your being intoxicated on the evening of the 15th. I have great pleasure in stating that, I saw nothing in your manner to induce such an opinion, as I was perfectly persuaded when I heard that a charge in aggravation had been made against you.
Our most obedient,
Signed E. Rans.
The Chief Justice.
Hong Kong,
Row 9.
