Government of this Colony it has never been suggested to me that

I have failed in any way in the proper performance of my duties,

nor that I have devoted any portion of my time which ought to

have been at the disposal of the Government in work, or arise.

The said John Tatam, on whose initiative these

proceedings have been taken against me, is still indebted to

me for a large part of the moneys advanced to him by me to

enable him to carry on the said business; and, in causing these

proceedings to be instituted I verily believe that he was

would be made against me provided I paid to him a few hundred

dollars, and wiped out all accounts between us, which I

any charge which might be made against me rather than te subanit

Subsequently to my said interview with the said John

Tatam in 1904 his Solicitor wrote to the Registrar of the Supreme Court making the same charge against me as that which

I am now called upon to answer, but I was not required by the

Registrar to answer the said charge, nor did it appear that he

considered my conduct in the matter to have been incorrect.

Although by Rule 40 of the Colegial Regulations

galaried public officers are prohibited from engaging in trade, or employing themselves in any ossmercial undertaking, by Rule

41 it would appear that they are not prohibited from halding
