The printed Report was not compiled by the Attorney General under my direction, but by others. Caldwell's friends in the Commission referred to "Letters" and were on the contrary before us.
42. Mr. Day is no more. He died suddenly within a month after succeeding to my Office. I will neither infer nor state anything against his memory, which was not or would not have been admitted by himself, when living, to be true.

Tarrant, 17th June 1858, p. 31

44. It was afterwards discovered that Mr. Day had put in his claim to be appointed my Acting Successor, conditionally on my Suspension from the Attorney Generalship.
Correspondence relating thereto in Executive Council had met to authorize that measure.
