"do sit in adjudication of offences against Ordinance 8 of 1866.
without
- having at last one
dictionary.
Indduce a recent fact
Corroborating the necessity for
this measure this day in the
Police Court it was stated and
not contradicted that in Sword, the word "Abut "does not
mean to end at- or - to border- upon but means, to rest on . or to be superposed . Would the lawyer who urged this have ventured such brash in the Supreme
Court? Would he have hazarded it in the Police Court had it not been
known there was no
dictionary on the Bench ?
I have no further remark,
to offer but have the honour to subscribe
Myself
Your obedient servant,
