Ma Isoo Wong. This is, however, a minor point of interest chiefly to myself. Gr. Bridges is perfectly correct in his main fact viz: that no report was made and the intention of making one relinquished. I need not demonstrate that Mr. Aneby was equally correct in stating that the Memoranda now enclosed were in existence when I proceeded north with Lord Elgin. But in respect of a long conversation upon their contents, in which I am believed to have said that the accounts and papers contained beyond doubt evidence of the convict's guilt, I am obliged to assume that any such remarks on my part had reference not to the papers of which Mr May's Memoranda are a sort of index, but to another collection concerning what is known as the Beaver Case.
I perfectly well remember, just before General Ashburnham's departure in 1887, as I was in the act of preparing a letter to the governor upon some papers which had been asked my opinion by His Excellency, that he sent for me while the Executive Council was sitting and that I read to the Council a letter, and made some statements on an unfinished letter, on which, if I mistake not, the Council decided that there was no ground for extending to elba $200. Wong the indulgence which it had been in contemplation to show him.
