R. D. Bay, Legge
for
My dear Sir,
In reference to your letter and my reply thereto; with reference also to your statement of my being appointed Chief Justice under the sanction of His Excellency the Governor; I beg to hand you a copy of the letter under which I hold that situation, as it is always quoted as the authority in the salary abstract for the payment of the salary assigned to it; and under it alone I received it.
I have further to add that I have mentioned the whole affair to the Hon. the late Chief Justice; who is of opinion that no resignation can be required of me, as suspension must necessarily include dismissal (or my own). Under these circumstances, with all deference, I trust my declining to send in a resignation will not be deemed contumacious.
I am, &c.,
(Signed) W. M. Rotter
