To teach some a capital offence committed on board a United States dated vessel in a harbor, but he is far from intending that such offence is not punishable by trial law, if committed where that law is paramount.
I might say purely on Mr. Weld's Argument, its original basis, its tenor, and its conclusions, but I should thus really shut the Examination, and firstly sit in advance of the solution, of a disagreement.
With reference to the documents you are good enough to secure, I have only to remark that the Depositions of Thomas Cadwell (position and profession not described) and of James Mitchell are mainly comprised of hearsay statements, such as no Court of Justice could entertain, and that Mr. Williams Tarrant (whose letter you forwarded) is a person who was dismissed from Public Service some years ago, on the ground that he had made statements which he could not substantiate.
I have again to assure Your Excellency of my high respect, not only for yourself personally, but for the distinguished office which you hold.
I have, &c.,
Signed John Fowler,
Colonial Secretary.
To His Excellency
The Governor,
