It is utterly out of my power wither

to devote my own time and attention

to this complicated affair - Larkens to Gillespie - or to request the Honorable the Chief Magistrate to do so, when I am sensible that he is already

overburdened with the current duties of his Department. It is one

of those matters which must either be settled

by arbitration or must lie over until there is a regularly constituted Court

this

report to Government the amount of Rent and by whom it is paid to Messrs Gillespie, I will issue an Official Injunction to the Payer to hold it in deposit or else to pay

else to pay it into the Public Treasury pending a legal decision. This step

may perhaps induce the Parties to prefer

an amicable settlement by arbitration to the delay that must ensue and a proposal to that effect will be made to them as soon as I

hear from the Honorable the Chief Magistrate.
