Or Extels Statements which
think proper, and considering that they deeply affected a gentleman, a personal friend who was not only a friend of Mr Johnson's, but the professional adviser of the firm to which he belonged, I think that Mr Johnson was fully justified in the course which he took.
26. Secondly, Sir J. P. Hennessy charged Mr Johnson with having waited till the Governor had left Hongkong and with having visited Government House for the purpose of drawing Dr Eitel into a conversation on the Hayllar scandal. But Mr Johnson did not apply to Dr Eitel till he had heard from other persons that Dr Eitel had been charged by the Governor to show certain documents to the members of the Council, and the interview took place at Government House by Dr Eitel's own desire. We have also, for what it is worth, Dr Eitel's own statement (p.10 of his letter of 27 Dec) that on the very day on which he left Hongkong, Sir J.P. Hennessy especially charged him to show the papers, and to explain them, to Mr Johnson.
I quite agree.
27. Dr Eitel's defense to Mr Johnson's charges, contained in his letter of the 27th of December, comprises numerous, circumstantial statements to the effect (1) that he was misled by the Governor as to showing the documents; (2) that the explanatory statements which he gave were those suggested by the Governor himself; (3) that he was not only instructed, but urged, by the Governor to give these explanations, and blamed for backwardness in making them;
(4) that he was especially charged to make these statements to Her Majesty, and to Colonel Hall, who was to be requested to repeat them to General Mallet; (5) that on the day on which Sir J.P. Hennessy left Hongkong, he was again directed to show the documents, and to explain them, to the members of Council, especially Mr Johnson; (6) that he showed the documents to Mr Ryrie, and was subsequently referred to by him to the Governor for an explanation. N.B. This was apparently before the Governor left Hongkong; (7) that after the Governor's departure, Mr Ryrie applied to see the two documents, which he had not seen yet, and was shown them. N.B. Some confusion as to Mr Ryrie.
