quite

true

that Dr Eitel made a

statement to me nearly a month be- fore the 20th September, which was substantially the same as that set out in the 6th paragraph of the petition

of Hayllar & Cotel.

I am able to

in the case

answer

your question at once, as the case is

now withdrawn.

in the Registry.

Believe me, yours very truly

1st December 1881

My dear Johnson,

In reply to your note of this morning, I regret to state that I have been informed is quite true, viz that Dr Eitel made a statement to me nearly a month before the 20th September, which was substantially the same as that set out in the 6th paragraph of the petition of Hayllar & Cotel.

I am able to answer your question at once, as the case is now withdrawn; rather, notice of withdrawal has been duly filed in the Registry.

Believe me, yours very truly

(Signed) Russell

The Hon: F. B. Johnson
