4.

In reference to Constable Taylor's state-

-ment I beg to say that during the trial of W. H. Adsetts at the Supreme Court in the month of October, 1907, the space by the Judges' Bench was crowded and in attempting to gain access to it through the Small Court door I was roughly pushed back by Constable Taylor. I resented such an action as I was specially

sent for by the Hon. Attorney-General and in consequence a few

hot words passed between us.

5.

Apart from this unfortunate incident I have

had no futher trouble with him and I do not recollect having met

him since the above incident.

6.

I further beg leave to be permitted to say

that if I had been in the condition alleged by him it was his

duty to charge me than and there, or, to report the occurrence to his or my immediate superior at the time instead of bringing such a charge against me after a period of eighteen months.

7.

As to the 2nd. charge I sincerely regret that

owing to the long-standing friction with my wife, who came back

to the Colony about two months ago, I gave way to intemperance

and I would ask for His Excellency's clemency seeing that I have taken a pledge to abstain from all alcohol and if any charge of intemperance is ever again made against me by the Head of my Department or by any responsible officer I am aware of the

consequence.

8.

I pray that it may be taken as a point in favour of my application for His Excellency's clemency that I was absent for four days only from my duties. That I returned to duty on the 15th. ultimo and have since continued to diligently and efficiently perform the duties of Clerk to the Hon. Attorney- -General which duties I have faitafully performed for the period

of about nine years.

I have etc.,

(Sd.) P. Law.

The Hon. The Colonial Secretary,

Hongkong.
