with similar advances by creditors and acknowledged by you to be a corres onding first charge upon the proceeds of sale of ship, he will be in a position and will undertake to at once meet the Auctioneering and Brokering Company's full liabilities to the Court, despite the defalcation of the Chinese Treasurer. I am given to understand that Ir. Hodge
has made similar representation to your personally.
In conclusion, I infer from certain remarks which
you made to me whilst sick in Hospital that I had done away with Court files, I believe that they have all been recovered
in Court.
I should have gone on leave in May this year, but owing to all this trouble and work in the Court, I have tried to carry on and the result a complete break down in health. I am sorry that this has happened when just coming to the end of y 27 years service, with only two terms of
leave 1914 and 1921.
I have, &c.,
(Sd.) A. 7. Hill,
Head Bailiff.
