Some time afterwards he came in and gave a verbal apology. I told him to put it into writing. Later he brought me a document, which I returned to him, in which he expressed regret for having hurt my feelings but in which he withdrew nothing that he had said. I asked him to do so in writing. He refused on the ground that the written apology would be used against him. I pointed out that a written apology could only be used as a defence to himself. He refused to give it. I accordingly told him that I would not grant his application for leave but that he could make it to you if he thought fit. I asked him to go and see you as I thought you might like to judge for yourself as to his condition. He refused. I told him that I had discussed the matter with Mr. Fletcher and that he would be reported. He then asked if he was suspended. I told him he was not, but that his application for leave was refused. I further told him that I would hold the report back for two hours to give him an opportuni- -ty of reconsidering his position with regard to the written apology and to his general impertinent behaviour. The two hours are up now and he still refuses to change his attitude in the least.
The man is evidently suffering from swelled head. He has been too long in this Department. I attach some further papers concerning him which I have received from Lr. Wode- -house but it is only fair to him to say that I do not agree with the Inspector in thinking that the letter of 10.4.11 is in Law's handwriting.
