Chancellorship unnecessary, others the lower, and others some other part of the plan; but the simple duty of the Trustees was to carry out the plan put into their hands, leaving the responsibility on the shoulders of those who selected it.

We cannot, therefore, admit that the Church was finished when opened, or that there were ample funds in the hands of the Trustees to pay all that was due.

With these explanations I am perfectly willing to leave our cause to the equitable judgement of the authorities at home, on grounds now for the first time laid before them, feeling certain that a sense of justice will preclude the idea of refusing our claims, and I am sure my Co-trustees would have the same confidence, were there time or opportunity to consult them. It is the wish of myself, as I am sure it is of all Trustees, to represent the case in a true and impartial light, and we are persuaded that, the more all matters connected with it are examined and investigated, the more reasonable will appear the request and claims that we have urged upon Your Majesty's Government.

I have, &c.,

(Signed) A. Campbell.
