14. The added cases, to which if I may judge from the references in the remaining Resolutions the various points are those of the Chief Justice's complaint in 1856, for timely interference; a more ancient complaint made by myself against the late Mr. Helletica, Chief Magistrate of Police, for interference with my duties; followed up by a letter from him, which was destroyed to Lipscombe forth; followed by a similar complaint of mine against C. Bridges, a Member of this very Council for conduct of a greatly aggravated kind, in the spring of 1857, and on which the Secretary of State, being of opinion that it ought to have been adjudicated by the Governor and not in the first instance reserved home, declared to interfere further, an earlier complaint not of the same official for breach of official confidence to my prejudice, in the case of Mr. Syall, and justly, who tried the Great Poisoning Case of 1857, the Action of Slander, brought against me, in 1856, by verdict; a statement, made in 1857, by Mr. Hickson, who was Crown Solicitor here for a few days, that he had found me loyal; a complaint made, last winter by his client, an attorney of Hong Kong, (Morrison) that I had been too lenient to a Chinese witness, whom the Court, at any suggestion, committed for perjury; and my own complaint of last month's Labour at Excellency refused to entertain or investigate touching the Clogpage of my claim by the Kearny, in respect of a claim on the part of the Treasury, to a sum of money, disputed by me as having been long before paid by me to the present Crown Solicitor.
15. I have neither the time nor inclination to enter into these cases. Suffice it to say that, in each I had the benefit of the advice and approbation of the Colonial Secretary, Mr. Mercer, the Lieutenant Governor, and another thread of the same Council; that, in the former case, there was a voluntary apology to me from Mr. Hillier, and, in the latter, from the Chief Justice ended the controversy; and, but that this very man himself has since tried to satisfy the Chief Justice for the part, which on the face of all the proceedings my official he is recorded to have had, I would say that, in both cases the apology was as satisfactory, controversy as much as in each case was ample and honorable. Mr. Bridges, whose graver controversies, both with Mr. Hillier and Mr. Forth, on complaints of illegal interference with their duties have never been appeased to this hour and he is even now Acting Attorney General, has, I admit, from the beginning of his unfortunate appointment to his present post, been more at loggerheads with every other department, including the Legislative Council last month for his conduct in the Opium Farm Case, and his consequent resignation accepted by His Excellency him, in taking vengeance upon the Superintendent of Police, Mr. May, for having made temperate remonstrance and which instance I have kept.
