YOUR TELNO. 156: GODBER'S APPEAL.

RI

6s 68.

THE DATES (5, 6 AND 7 MAY) SUGGESTED BY FRENCH ARE NOT SUITABLE ON ACCOUNT OF THE QUEEN'S VISIT. I ALSO FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT IF AT ALL POSSIBLE THE APPEAL SHOULD BE DISPOSED OF BEFORE HER VISIT. PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS TO FRENCH AND CONVEY MY EARNEST HOPE THAT HE AND THE OTHER COUNSEL WILL FIND IT POSSIBLE TO ACCEPT THE DATES (14, 15 AND 16 APRIL) PROPOSED BY THE CHIEF JUSTICE.
