Never the less I had confidence in the goodness of the cause, in the veracity of Mr May, and the honor of the Executive Councillors, who had been appointed to assist the new Governor, and were to share in that Exparte investigation.
There were at least twenty charges before them, some of them those for my reports upon which I had been injured so deeply in person and fame, and others threatened with the same vengeance. The prolix investigation before the Commission compassed in 1860-1 has not exhausted above three of the entire number, and those three embrace in fact, and form two (for the Commission, with no very cautious feeling, I must say, myself, describe them as "belonging to the Caldwell and Anstey Case"), the damning accusations of Mr May himself, with respect to the nature of the connection with the Confessed Pirate Ma Chow Wong, these very accusations, to screen Caldwell against which the documentary proofs of the connection were furnished by Doctor Bowring and Bridges, and for expressing my belief in the truth of which accusations, and in the honesty of Mr May their author, I am now under your sentence of suspension, pronounced by confirmation of the alleged guilt in that matter, to distinguish between the guilt of the culprit himself and the more effusive statements of Mr May's "private matter".
