charged and ard to re-open this investigation and prosecute it to the ends of Justice. I pray for Commission, Special Tribunal or enquiry under reference to the following suggestion.
On pronouncing upon the inadequacy of the old Tribunal, His Excellency was pleased to intimate to me that should I still desire the enquiry I seek, the Supreme Court might afford it, either by Criminal prosecution by the Attorney General or by a Civil Action to be entered against me by a party to whom I am supposed to be liable. The latter expedient, I would submit with all deference, could in no wise touch the question of my guilt or affect the grave charge of corruption inevitably involved.
I would humbly repeat "inevitably involved" - For if there were suspicion of corruption, there were also other elements. A "grave charge" of a "Criminal prosecution"...
With respect to the latter expedient, however, I have merely to say that should His Excellency be pleased to consign the hitherto unsullied Magistracy of this Colony to the felon's dock, I am prepared to obey and pray for the Criminal Court to command it. I am prepared to face and to court such an ordeal, if there be no other means left me to vindicate my outraged honour. I would willingly hope, however, that Her Majesty's Government will, in its wisdom, devise some means less objectionable to my feelings and more consonant with the dignity of the case.
