Now on the Bench, this last named Officer intimated his intention to refer the matter to the Government. This Mr. Coldwell did, and has been informed that when the Stipendiary Magistrate is sitting, he is admitted only by courtesy, but has no right, to seat on the Bench. Mr. Mitchell has been warned not to make invidious distinctions in future.

8. The idea of Mr. Mitchell being in a manner "under trial" is a mere chimera.

Mr. Caldwell made a formal complaint, which was forwarded by the Colonial Secretary to Mr. Mitchell for explanation - The matter was then settled.

9. The matter was not brought before the Government, so I can say nothing more than that, as in all witness quarrels, there is likely to be hard-swearing and probably perjury, on both sides.

10. It was not D. Bridges, as assumed, but Mr. Austen the Acting Attorney General.
