reading of the letter from Bark Grey to Governor Crawford of which I now have a copy. To the best of my remembrance the tenor of this letter is as follows :

His Lordship says he has carefully considered the case; and in no measured terms, he rebukes the Governor for having allowed one to be prosecuted for doing what was merely my duty.

This order of The Master, I became entitled to full pay for the whole time I was suspended, and if it was not agreeable to the Governor to give me the higher post ordered, or to reinstate me in my old office. There was I entitled to at least an additional year's pay as compensation for dismissal. In this head, however, it is my intention on arrival in England, to take legal opinion, and if necessary, to take legal action.
