I have the honour to acknowledge Your Excellency's letter of 29th March on the subject of Mr. Seth. I

am unfortunate in not being able to convey my meaning to Your Excellency, although on re-perusing my letter it seems very

plain. Paragraph 5 of Your Excellency's letter does not in any way represent the views which I have put forward. My long

experience as an administrative officer renders it unnecessary for me to be reminded by Your Excellency of the elementary

principle that the most junior member of the service is as much

**ote ovari T

entitled to be believed as the highest. But it is an equally

Tono atv

elementary principle that when a charge is made against a subordinate officer (or a partly subordinate officer) by his

chief, that charge is not to be set aside merely because he

it

chooses to deny To repeat what I said in paragraph 4 of my letter of 23rd instant, "an inquiry into the charge preferred

is the only way of dealing with the matter which the Colonial Regulations recognise". Instead of following that course Your

Excellency has expressed confidence in Mr. Seth's denial; in other words Your Excellency has rejected my statement as untrue,
