In reply to your enquiry, what seemed to be done for the vindication of the Law against the justices & I continue to think that, from the moment when this brakeway Announced in his official Memorandum to the Justices, his determination to set an example of respect to the law as expounded by the two acting justices in the two cases of Mandamus where Mr. Mitchell was defendant, there was no longer the possibility open to him of shunning the consequence of their disobedience. The stipends of the paid Justices at all events were at his disposal: even if His Excellency may have thought it unadvisable to meddle with a general revision of the Commission of the Peace. It is late, yet not too late: and I still think an example ought to be made by the suspension of this the principal offender. His Excellency must be prepared to find that the Ordinances of 1856 passed in deference to the public anxiety for sanitary reform and encouraged from Downing Street, will remain what they are, a dead letter - only remaining copies.
