I have also to remind that I never received any letter from your Lordship of the 3rd April last, as now stated by your Lordship.
This is an unfortunate! our Letter the 13th June generally, but it escaped us to verify a with which your Lordship's whole correspondence had, and which, uncorrected, much to be the cause why, to use the language of your Lordship's concluding admission, it still open to so much misunderstanding, prejudicially to myself.
I have yet to bear, moreover, that: "the confirmation of a suspension from public service, of course, implies dismissal"; or that the communication of that to a Governor, according to the invariable custom of the Colonial Department, deprives the dismissed officer himself of his right to be informed of those grounds; and I must card this last position as hostile to the regard letter and spirit of the Printed Rules and Regulations, promulgated by that Department, for the government of Her Majesty's Colonial Service, as it is to natural justice.
And, when your Lordship assumes against me, that instead of remaining in the Colony, to await there the decision of the Secretary of State, I preferred to return to this country, your Lordship cannot have forgotten that I had preferred very much the contrary of that. During seven months of chronic sickness, produced by over work, the harassing conduct of the local government, and seriously aggravated by poison, administered by the public inery, in revenge of my zeal.
