Chief Justice to Acting Colonial Secretary
I feel compelled to speak out after the treatment I received from the Chief Justice in rudely contradicting me, as he did, and has done repeatedly in matters within my own knowledge and experience, and in designating my remarks as "nonsense", a phrase which no English Judge ever applied to me during a course of upwards of twenty years practice.
(Signed) Fred. Gibbon Registrar
The Supreme Court, Hongkong, October 4th, 1880.
I have the honour to forward a copy of the letter from Mr. Gibbon in which he answers the letter No. 1267 from you to me forwarded to him on the 2nd instant.
I have only to remark therein that Mr. Gibbon had ordered Mr. Stuggland, whilst he was acting as my Clerk, to keep a book without ever letting him know that he had done so.
The Honorable
Fr. D. Stewart
Acting Colonial Secretary
