me for life should the facts of be placed before the King.

  1. My retirement, which I have naturally welcomed, has been an unexpected blow to me as I always considered it an honour to be allowed to serve. Hence this devotion with which I have always performed my duties. As I have had it in my power, it is satisfactory to know that in spite of all my shortcomings, my name will be a lasting one throughout the Colony; certainly tingling memories will sincerely benefit permissibly and often arise from my terms of office there.
  1. In conclusion, I beg most humbly and respectfully to appeal to Your Majesty the Sovereign for a gracious remission of penalty during the 33 long years that I have had the honour to serve the Crown, and which will restore public confidence and the place I have always held and desired to hold in public opinion.

I have the honour to be, Your Majesty's most obedient and humble servant,

I Norton Koehne
