When I discussed the question with Er. Kemp

he told me that he had overlooked this point, assuming that I

Although he has had some experience in the

work he is hardly competent to administer an oath intelligibly

to a witness. On a recent occasion in reading to the Jury an

indictment of four lines at a trial for murder, he read it as

charging the deceased with the crime, and hardly knew how to

correct himself. He is the officer moreover whom I discovered

reading a novel in Court, to which I refered in one of my

letters
