On my return from Europe, November 1863, I was but partially informed how matters stood, as will be seen from his letter to me of 4th November (C); on the following day I replied protesting against his proceeding in either suit contrary to my wishes and in defiance of my orders.
In the letter of the 4th November it will be observed that he enclosed an Account Current of the rents and properties, and although by the Bills of Costs the unauthorised proceedings in both suits had then ended, yet he did not furnish me with his Costs. After all this he intimated through a friend, the Bishop of Victoria, that if I proceeded with Kemptner's Case I must win; and this after the appeal case had been decided and judgement had been signed in the case of Kemptner against me. However, I carried out my original intention. The advice I procured in London convinced me that this line of redress had escaped, and that I had been shamefully victimised.

Hemptner and supposed the matter at an end. Kemptner positively denied that he had ever authorised or sanctioned any proceedings in this case.
The affair slumbered until last July when M. Kingsmill summoned me in the Summary Court for his second Bill of Costs in the Appeal Case, and his first Bill of Costs in Kemptner's Claim. The suits came on, as already stated, on the 25th of that month, and I made my defence in writing.
"I bought a cargo of Merchandise at Yokohama from a Mr. Kemptner. They were on their way to London and were damaged on the voyage, which caused me to decline to receive them. I paid the invoice amount in the sum of $7,000 or thereabout. From information I subsequently received, I came to the conclusion that Kemptner had concealed certain facts from me, which rendered the sale null and void. I refused delivery of the Cargo in London, and Kemptner's friends had to pay the freight and landing charges, which came to $8,000.
