My Lord Duke,
In connection with my Despatch of this date No 4 and referring to
your Despatch No 106 of the 19 June 1862, I have the honor to
transmit herewith the report I have received from Mr G.H. Carythe
the
Attorney General of this Colony, in reply to the charges brought
against him by Mr Langford.
the
Attorney General of this Colony, in reply to the charges brought
against him by Mr Langford.
2. The evidence Mr Cary produces appears so satisfactorily to clear him
from Mr Langford's imputations, and so forcibly to expose the
character of Mr Langford that it does not seem to me necessary to
trouble Your Grace with further remark.
