of the Report, which the longer interval allows and as on the 27th June no one could have anticipated matters proceeding to the extremity at which they have since arrived, there is no adequate reason for considering the report of the Daily Press the following morning to have been purposely inaccurate.

Special remarks on the proceedings attending the Chief Justice's delivery of Judgment on the 2nd instant seem unnecessary. No one can read the report of those proceedings as given to order a Queen's Counsel and a gentleman in Mr. Pollard's position to stand up like a Criminal at the bidding of the Registrar during the delivery of a very long judgment dividing one original contempt into six, and pausing more than once to address Mr. Pollard with such extraordinary interpellations as "Your eyes stare very much, Mr. Pollard" "opened very wide" whilst all power of explanation or reply was withheld, though several of the alleged contempts were brought forward for the first time, has produced an unpleasant feeling in this community, greatly lowered the status and dignity of the Judicial Bench in the papers and has so enclosed by the Chief Justice himself without pain.

It is a felony, that I should not be doing my duty
