That the Acting Attorney General in insisting on his opinions of what my reasons were, from time to time, when I had already publicly announced what they actually were, was unduly persistent, and that His Excellency the Administrator in adopting that opinion, with the knowledge that I disavowed the reasons alleged by the Attorney General, exceeded what was due to myself and to my position.

That even on the face of it, my explanation of what I did was perfectly bona fide and not an afterthought to meet the Attorney General's opinion, and that whether right or wrong, it was not a matter that concerned the Acting Attorney General. It had been proposed by me in open Court, I had invited arguments against it, and it met with acquiescence from both sides. Indeed I still think that the reasoning was sound, and that to have decided forthwith as to the credibility of Mr. Laing would have been calculated, to the extent to which it might do, to prejudice the perjury cause in one way or another.
