Excellency's letter of 15th. September in which you inform me

Excellency has been in the Colon.

Excellency expressed to Mr. Justice Gompertz acting as Chief
Justice has also been removed.

immediately before going on leave, I do not see, with deference,
why a precedent should be necessary. It is convenient to me
