2. We can only say that nothing
was further from our instruction,
and that the allegation was not
founded on fact, and setting
aside our Oath of Office, we
would have thought it beneath
us to have acted in a manner so

Magistrates and Gentlemen.

3. Feeing ourselves by this
conduct of Mr Challinor's much
aggrieved, we trust you will
be so good, as bring this matter
to the notice of His Excellency
the Governor, trusting that Mr.
Challinor will be called upon
either to know his allegation
or withdraw the charge so
unjustly made against the
Revising Magistrates.

We have the honor to be
Sir
Your obedt Servts
