I would further shew that as well as being a Magistrate, the Governor has a duty to perform. And that in this instance, it is a perversion of terms to say that the Governor has interfered with grave Magisterial functions. The Governor has merely expressed his Opinion of the Magistrate's decision after their functions had ceased.
I would signify the state of the case to be simply this - that the Magistrates committed an error, not proved by the Attorney General's report of the Chief Justice's words - that the Governor, as the Head of all Executive authority, and responsible to the Crown for the proper administration of Laws, was bound to bring their error to the notice of the Magistrates. I learn with much regret that offence is taken at the language employed by him.
I would explain that though there must always be something disagreeable in the intimation, it was far from His Excellency's intention to give offence to the Justices, much less to cast a censure upon the character of these Gentlemen - a mode of censure in such a case as this being as unbecoming as it is uncalled for by the circumstances.
