hearsay, and would not be admissible in a Court of Law,
Cost of Law, and equally apply to those brought forward by Your Excellency, especially to the Statement of Mr. May. Condemned sufficient to satisfy our naturally enquiring mind, might often be sifted out by legal testimony.

In excluding the correspondence, and referring the whole matter to our respective Governments, allow me again
