8. The Attorney General (Mr Pauncefote) seems to have held the same view - and was anxious to explain that the sending of the report "be delayed on my account." On the same day, the Colonial Secretary sent him the Attorney General's opinion above mentioned and returned him his own letter as the best means of acquainting him with the point.

He winds up by saying such informal modes of communication show how little idea was entertained in my office that the Chief Justice could take umbrage at the action of the Executive, or that he was otherwise than gratified at my giving him an opportunity of explaining how far Mr. Deane's statement was correct.
