gravest character, and sufficient

action on

the

part of His Excellency.

Without in any way arrogating to myself a position to which I am not fully entitled, I think

that my standing at the English bar gave me a title to respect from the Bench which was never withheld when I appeared, always treated with consideration. I feel compelled to say this much, after the treatment I received from the Chief Justice, in rudely contradicting me as he did, and has done repeatedly within my experience, on matters of law and in designating my remarks and phrases which have been applied to no English judge during a course of upwards of twenty years' practice.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

(Sd) H. Red. Gibbons,

Registrar.
