No. 10

On the 31st ultimo I received a Telegram from Your Lordship as
follows—"Offer Needham Chief Justiceship Trinidad. Salary eighteen
hundred. Answer by telegraph what date he can leave. Puisne
Judge will be sent out."

2. I replied on the same day—"Needham accepts—will leave in
a Month."

3. Today I have transmitted another Telegram as follows—"May
Crease have Puisne Justiceship. Salary small to tempt man
from England—expenses so great."
