Excellency under the powers given to him by the Ordinance, and
the Commissioners must abide by the resuit and take the conse-
quences of their acts and 1 intend to take such measures as to
myself may seem advisable when I arrive in England and so ex-
pose one of the most iniquitous proceedings known in modern
times.
4.
By your letter of the 8th. October
6096/1903 0.8.0., his Excellency informed me that 1 was at
liberty to proceed to England as my leave had not been cancel- led: further by your letter of the 14th. instant, you inform
me that his Excellency the Governor has been pleased to extend
to the 20th. instant the tire within which my observations
would be received by the Government, the Government further placed me on leave from the 15th. instant, thereby most arbi-
trarily and unjustly removing me from office.
5.
i am now to all intents and purposes re-
moved from office by compulsion: I was then engaged upon one
of the greatest duties man owes to himself Viz.:- his defence
against a combination, and can it be expected that after the most disgraceful humiliation that this Government has caused
me to undergo through the baseless charges brought to my door,
now a matter of public notoriety, that I shall submit to a
fresh ordeal of consenting to that which you have no right to
ask one Ÿ I have all along pointed out after 1 had been con-
victed, that the procedure adopted was the wrong one.
6.
a high-handed act
-
Now that I have been removed from office,
unheard of, and at e time when there was
no reason for it for which 1 will hold this Government res-
ponsible, I await your instructions as to my further move-
ments.
Mithout actually suspending me from
office
