21. I feel so deeply interested in the speedy passing of these Laws that I offer my services to go to England for the period necessary at half Salary or even without Salary in order that prompt information may be given to Her Majesty's Government which may be required in order to facilitate speedy legislation.

I have, &c.,
(True Copy),
(Signed) John Smale,
Chief Justice.
Acting Colonial Secretary.
