2. From the Colonial Secretary's
No. 2341 of the 19th
that the
letter to you of December 1881, you Governor would not enter into any discussion with you as to the inaccuracies in your letter of the 17th December 1881, which
you desire to have forwarded to the Earl of Kimberley, and
without entering now into such discussion it is enough to
point out that in your
• your letters of
the 17th and 27th of December
your memory
permitting you
is at fault is
in
to
say (after
having recorded the reverse in
writing)
that you allowed the withdrawal of the case of Hayllar v. Eitel under the Governor's instructions sacrificing your own interests which demanded a public
to the interests of
the
inquiry Governor, and that what you
appear to have told Mr. Johnson and others was so told to them by the positive instructions of the Governor.
I have the honour to be
Sir
Your most obedient Servant
To Dr. Eitel
&c. &c.
[Signed] G. Northcole
Private Secretary.
