Chief Magistrate's office, Victoria, Hongking, June 6th 1856.
I crave leave (with all dutiful submission to Her Majesty's Government of this Colony), to lay the following difficulty before the highest Authority in the State.
On the 14th of May last it was reported to His Excellency Sir John Bowring, by Her Majesty's Attorney General, accompanied by the Editor of a local Newspaper, that I had been guilty of a certain malversation of my office as Sheriff of this Settlement—a "grave charge"
The Right Honorable Honry Labouchere. Her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies.
