Victoria Gaol.
20th. January, 1898.
z,-,
As you are well aware that I was sentenc ed
to 6 months imprisonment imprisonment at the Criminal Ses-
sions on the 3rd. August 1897, having been found guilty of re-
ceiving bribes from certain Gambling Houses within the City
of Victoria, and as that sentence has now almost expired, I
humbly beg to acknowledge to you the justness of the ver-
diet, and I pray that you will cause His Excellency the Go-
vernor to be informed, also the Chief Justice and Jurymen wio
found me guilty and sentenced me to the term of imprison-
ment which I so justly deserved for my unfaithfulness to
the trust which was placed in me by my superiors. I should
have admitted this on the 20th. November last but something
withheld me from doing so which I cannot account for and
thinking that I should have to give Queen's evidence if I
did so. Were it possible to do so I assure you I would do
it without the least hesitation but all that I could say
would only amount to supposition.
Hon. F. H. May, C.M.G.
