Chief Justice and remained closeted with him for a considerable
time. I may mention that I considered it safer, after what had
happened, to observe this. Having corrected this further mis-
statement, shall now proceed to relate the facts touching
that other scandalous affair, which I most respectfully state
for the information of his Excellency the Governor, I am ready
to confirm by oath. Had I a free choice i should prefer not to
mention the circumstances, but unfortunately I am now compelled,
through the regrettable action of Sir William Goodman to bring
same to light, and which no doubt has been alluded to by him
with the evident intention of further endeavouring to injure me
and for which he alone must now assume the responsibility.

had refused to apologise to me, I want to see Mr. Justice hise
to inform him of what had transpired in the Chief Justice's
Chambers. I was not bound to do this, but in my position of
Registrar, owing to what had happened, he being the Fuisne
Judge, I thought it advisable to do so. I found Mr. Justice

I found him in, having just returned.
on seeing me he at once shouted out
suppose you have come about your row with Goodman ? 1 have

"You have been misinformed, Sir". Be replied "It is no use your
coming to me. I will believe nothing of what you say I have
not forgotten what took place some years ago when you wrote
lies about the Registry. You are a d d lying jew. In fact I
told Mr. Lucas you were a liar and he told me it would be some
years before you got your next move !" Disgusted at such a
speech which surely no self-respecting official would use to
another I told Mr. Wise 1 could stand no such Language and left.
