On the other hand, although His Excellency had been made aware of the object with which the experiments, for which he granted the temporary license, were carefully being conducted, he had concealed his intention of raising the fee, until too late to prevent the completion of the contract. We think His Excellency shewed a want of that good faith, which his high office demands.
In the next place, this measure was carried into effect, without any previous notice to us, or our being afforded any opportunity of being heard. We regard this as a palpable injustice. The grounds for the Governor's decision, we do not know; but from a hint let fall by him, at the table of the Legislative Council, to which we shall again refer, it would seem probable that it was mainly based on the prosperity of the China Sugar Refining Company. But the prosperity of the China Sugar Refining ... is due to Distilling, and not to Refining, as we should have shewn His Excellency, had he allowed us a hearing.
