My Lord Duties,

on

Under a strong feeling of indignation I am induced from a sense of public duty to apprize Your Trace that upon more than one occasion, Hrs Honor Mr. Ball, the Judge of the Small Cause Court of the Colony, has an open court referred Chinese cases for arbitrement to the notonous D.R. Calduck :

It is true that in such cases the Counsel of both litigants have assented, possibly have proposed the reference. But with sulmission I maintain, that Caldwells intimacy with lawyers, neither smilitates his dup quilt, nor by any means adds to the reputation of the legal profession, already deeply implecated in his crimes.

I cannot look upon the reference of a

to such a man in

English Judge to such

a case

from, an

- any other light than as defiling

the bench, and perpetuating a foul scandal upon Butun

a

foul scandal upon British inshi brations in the Colony,

therefore

thenfus crave Your Grassi

To His Grace
