I should not have been dismissed from office until the date of my incapacity.
All public offices proceeding with the case have been duly notified of my deep regret at the lack of propriety.
I have, rightfully, on the 24th October, handed in my leave.
12. In acting as they have done, the Government of Hongkong have pitilessly tried and brought public disgrace upon me.
Daniel's behaviour has already been unjust and an insult to myself.
In the records of the Colonial Service, it may be difficult to find a similar case of such unprecedented and reckless persecution such as I have met with.
Certainly, I am fully convinced that in small Colonies attempts have been made from time to time to ruin men without giving them a fair hearing.
Primarily, fear has been the motive behind such ill treatment gently in Hongkong from the time of my appointment; resentment at the improvements affected during my time in office, the efficient state in which I have placed everything, particularly with the Registry, by carefully going into all details, has been wasted on my legal work, often at the Clerk's or going over my time.
13. In conclusion, I most respectfully submit that this matter, like the alleged Commission of Enquiry, can only be considered in its entirety by the Home Government.
In such cases, there has usually been a slight excuse for what has taken place.
However, the very officers at the present office in Hongkong have given it unqualified edge by giving it independent consideration.
