the experiment therefore was only partially successful but what if the Honorable Attorney General had not kindly undertaken the cause and the falsehoods adduced had appeared. Being unable by cross examination to prove their incongruity ? In such case I should have been defrauded out of a considerable sum.
I hope that His Excellency will think proper to direct the Attorney General to undertake my defence in all subsequent experiments and I submit that the plea advanced in the case detailed shows that the action had for its object my annoyance as a Government Officer and not the redress of injuries sustained for the learned counsel for the plaintiff might with equal truth have stated that the building materials seized, "were in nubibus"

Sir,
I have the honor to apprise you that on the 18th instant Mr John Darby lubb applied for a summons, against a (Whoo) for a nuisance in his (Ph: Cibbs) immediate vicinity that on the 21st Mr Mitchell the Chief Magistrate refused to issue such at his request ruling that the Atty. B. General must apply.
On the 21st I applied for a summons, against Ahoo for offences against paragraph II section I and 5 of Ordinance 8 of 1836.
I received information that the case would be heard on the 28th at noon but on proceeding to the Police Court at that time I was informed that the Case was adjourned until Monday at noon and this morning being Monday received another notice of alteration of the time viz to the 30th.
I attended, and the defendant through his attorney, pleaded guilty but ignorance of the Ordinance and that he had had no warning.
I called evidence and proved the offences Nevertheless the Magistrate (Mr. May) ruled that a man must have notice and disregard it for 12 hours before he can be deemed guilty of a nuisance. He adjourned the case for one week. Laying over that if in that interval the defendant satisfied the Magistrate that the wall was properly reconstructed the case would be dismissed and ruled that Mr. Seart the overseer of works should attend on that day and state whether the Ordinance had been complied with.
Vremoed.
