My dear Sir,

No.4, Victoria, 4th Decr. 1847.

In acknowledging the receipt of your letter, I beg to say that I cannot conceive how it is possible for me to resign an appointment which I do not hold. I conceive that I have already done what was necessary under the circumstances by my letter to you yesterday. If more than is still demanded of me, I will see the late Chief Justice and be guided by his counsel, as I might give umbrage by taking the step you point out, without his sanction.

(Signed) G. M. Thotter

A. D. Bay, Esqre.

No. 5.

A. Trotter Esqre.,

Court House, Judge's black.

My dear Sir,

I am directed to inform you that you are mistaken in supposing that the suspension of the Hon'ble Chief Justice deprives you of your appointment. You having been appointed with the sanction of His Excellency the Governor, your salary being paid by Government and not by the Chief Justice.

As there is no desire on the part of His Excellency the Governor or of the Hon'ble the Acting Chief Justice to deprive you of your office, it becomes necessary that you either return to your duties or send in your resignation.

I am, &c.,

(Signed) Robt. Dundas, Registrar.

6th Decr. 1867.
