The Chief Justice has frequently informed me that his nervous system is very shaken and there is no doubt that he is unable to grapple with any continuity of thought, even simple cases.

But if beyond the purely legal aspect of this case the Defendant considers that he has been the subject of proceedings unconstitutional in their inception or by reason of their having been unduly protracted, and that he has been oppressed as has been strongly urged at the Bar, he has no remedy here, but he may have a remedy upon petition to the Governor in Council and by such other means as the constitution points out for the remedy of constitutional as distinguished from legal wrongs.
I have in conclusion to express my great regret that inability from indisposition to grapple with any continuity of thought, with the great difficulties of this case, has delayed my decision. The fragmentary way in which from the same cause I have been obliged to take up the subject at intervals, alone raises any doubt in my mind as to the correctness of the conclusion to which I have, after most anxious, most painful thought, come.
