and as it appeared, at the moment, successful-

to sow dissension between the Solicitors and myself. The

statements he had made in public were inaccurate, and he had

put upon my action in the matter, a wholly unwarrantable in-

-terpretation. The position of the chief Justice was deliberate-

with all respect and deference to Your Excellency, I am willing,

and desirous if necessary, to justify my action on the highest

possible ground, the performance of a very serions public duty.

letter, the result of my letter, which was couched in good-

-huncured banter, was such as I had hoped: the possibility of a

breach between the profession and myself which had resulted

from Mr. Hewett's deplorable action was at once destroyed.

(sd.) F. T. Piggott,

Chief Justice.
