I am given to understand that Ir. Hodge

has made similar representation to your personally.

In conclusion, I infer from certain remarks which

you made to me whilst sick in Hospital that I had done away with Court files, I believe that they have all been recovered

in Court.

leave 1914 and 1921.

I have, &c.,

(Sd.) A. 7. Hill,

Head Bailiff.
