letter of 6th. April, Your Excellency did not express any opinion upon, nor even refer to, my letter to the "China Mail": which appeared on 27th. February: nor at any time after was there any allusion to the subject until the 18th. June, Your Excellency informed me that in forwarding the correspondence to the Secretary of state on an entirely different question, the correspondence with the Chamber of Commerce had been in- -cluded; and Your Excellency to my great surprise informed me that you had pointed out that the letter to the "Chine Kail" contravened in Your Excellency's opinion Regulation 44 of the

Colonial Service.

That Your Excellency formed that opinion

and expressed it to the Secretary of State without asking me for an explanation, and without knowing all the facts of the case.

I

Perding the receipt of my explanations,

desire to assure the Secretary of state that since I have been

in the Colony my one idea has been to raise the dignity of the

Bench. It was in order to maintain it that, after much

deliberation, I took the step of writing a letter to the

"China Mall" in order to prevent, and which did prevent, the

evil consequences of Mr. Hewett's action from spreading as they

threatened to, to the serious detriment of the efficient working
