The case was, in fact, forwarded to himself.

The Governor desires me to point out that it would be more convenient if you had taken exception at the time, in Council, to His Excellency's language as personal to yourself. You had ample opportunity of finding fault with His Excellency's statement before the debate closed.

The Chief Justice on that occasion said: "I think His Excellency the Governor though the subject certainly in some respect touched him pretty closely, has avoided any language stronger than the occasion should call for."

Your remarks are far from questioning personal to you that the occasion called for.

It is a source of gratification that I have brought forward this subject today. It has enabled Your Excellency to make a statement which I am sure will be received with much pleasure.

For one moment, I don't wish to differ from the remarks Your Excellency made.
