myself at

be held before myself at this present March Criminal Sessions

which trial I hereby direct and request you, adjourn the same Sessions until the 24th instant at 10 o'clock

in the morning when I purpose to preside at the trial of the said accused for piracy and murder.

Sir

Your obedient Servant

Chief Justice.

Copy-enclosure No2.

My dear Chief Justice

the March 1869.

109

Your official letter together with the original Depositions in the case for Trial at the Sessions

commencing only reached me at 5 past 5.

The course you have taken at the last moment leaves me no alternative but to place my resignation of the Acting judgeship of the Court of Summary Jurisdiction in the hands of the Government. The appointment offered to me in a way all the more gratifying that I had made no application for it, although at one time I had thought of doing so having understood from you that as far as you were concerned you would not create any difficulties.

My object in writing this private letter is to inform you that there is a case which ought to be heard to-morrow as the Prosecutrix

J. Smale

Chief Justice.
