Sir William Robinson's Despatch No. 214 of the 15th. October,
It will be seen that in them there was lack
ing that connecting link in the evidence which was present in
Mr. Holt's case.
3.
In view of these facts and of Mr. Holt's
practical admission of his guilt to the then Chief Inspector
Mr. A. Mackie who can if necessary be questioned now on the
point, I consider Mr. Holt's case to be on quite a different
footing from those European Officers who were accorded pensions.
I have the honour to be.
P.S.
Sir,
Your most obedient
Humble servant,
