"I conceived you to be under the influence of wine, and that he was confirmed in this belief by his seeing you. His friend Bruning, who after the company had dispersed gave him clearly to understand that he also considered you intoxicated." Jeannot at this distance of time remembers the precise words which were spoken, but the tenor was plainly this and was nothing else, that "the Judge was intoxicated and behaved in such a manner as to render it painfully apparent." I regret much to hear that the authors of this statement "have as yet neglected to atone for the annoyance which such a report must have caused to yourself and for the irritation it has created in a community by whom you are universally respected..." Mr. Pancira, who has just come in, avails himself of the present opportunity of conveying, both personally and on behalf of our sentiments of sincere respect and esteem. I remain,

"(signed) Thr. C. Leslie"

I have to request that you will bring this under His Excellency's notice. I shall lose no time in informing Mr. Leslie that as far as Sir John Bowring is concerned, Mr. Austin's Statement has been denied by His Excellency. May I be permitted?
