My own view is very much that of Mr. Robinson and

I think Mr. Bullin should be given the benefit of

the doubt. The Kaviers did not realize the serious-

ness of the charge they brought against him nor what

the consequences would be. Mr. Bullin may have behave?

indiscreetly on his first visit, and the mention of

the matter to the husband led to a more and more

serious construction being placed on his behaviour.

You will see that your dislike for the sweets

part of the story is well-founded.

I would not have a new trial, but tell the Gov.

to have Mrs. Bullin's story enquired into, and sav

that if it is substantiated Mr. B. may be re-in-

stated, and that in any case the S. of S. would be

inclined on the evidence comment on its unsatisfac-

tory record ) would be inclined to give Mr. B. the

benefit of the doubt.

And tell the Mother we are consulting Gov. fur-

ther on the Petition.
