R. D. Bay Esq.
No. 2.
Victoria, 3rd. Decr. 1847.

G. A. Frotter, Esq
Judge's Clerk.
My dear Sir,

No 3
Court House
4th Decr. 1847.

In reply to your note and it's contents,
I am directed to inform you that it is necessary that you should attend in a regular manner; that having already acted prior to the receipt of the intimation, I cannot now think of returning. Had I been informed by the Acting Chief Justice to the same effect as his note, it might have produced a different result; as it is, however, while tendering my thanks to him for his kindness, I beg to add that owing to the extreme kindness experienced at the hands of the late Chief Justice and from the personal attendance required of the Judge's Clerk, my position would be one of great embarrassment.

(Signed) G. A. Trotter

Jam. 40,

My dear Sir,
I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter intimating your resignation of your office as Judge's Clerk, for though you were appointed by the Chief Justice, your appointment was sanctioned by the Governor. If you mean to take this step, I will be obliged by your doing so without delay, as I do not consider the Court House quite safe without someone in it.

Yours faithfully,
(Signed) Robt. D. Bay
Registrar.
