I have no reason to expect that either this, or anything else I can say, will be at all grateful, or liave any weight with yoiu: Excellency, after the answer I received to a mcssa-e I did myself the honor to send you concerning an ordinance you were about to make for establishing a Court of Equity in the Supreme Court ; as being, in mv opinion, contrary to law, and which I desired might be delayed till I could be heard on that head. I thought myself within the duty of my office, in sendii;g this message ; and hope I do not flatter myself in thinking I shall be justiQed in it by your superiors, a3 well as mine. The answer your Excellency was pleased to send by Mr. J. W. was, Viat I need not gice myself any trouble abo^.it tluit affair ; that you icauld neither receive a visit or any message from me ; that you conld neither rely upon my integrity nor depend upon my judgment; that you thought vie a person not at all ft to be trusted uiih any concerns rehiting to the King; that exer sinc^ yoxtr coming to the government, I had treated you-- both as to yo^.ir oicn person and as the King's representative -icith alight, rudeness and impertinence; that you did not desire to see or hear any further of, ar from me. I am heartily sorry, sir, for your own sake, as well as that of the public, that the Kimr's representative should be moved to so great a degree of warmth, as appears by this answer, which I tliink would proceed from no other reason but by givui"- mv opmion, in a Court of which I was a Judge, upon a point of law that came before me, and in which I might be innocently enough mistaken ; (though I think I am not); for judges are no more infallible, than their superiors are impeccable.
