If I might receive a further indulgence so far as till
a fortnight after the breaking up of Parliament it would be
a great relief to me. I shall conclude in the affirmation
if I receive no command from the Board to the contrary
The only prejudice which the public service could
possibly receive from this adjournment would be the loss
of the interest of the hearing on the supposition that I had
any to refund. All such interest, I promise, in that
event to pay; but you understand already that I
do not myself regard myself as any thing by that promise.
I speak only with reference to the point of view
in which the matter seems to have been considered by the
Chief Inspector.
That time elapsed, I shall not merely give an answer, if
required, on the score of duty: but on being allowed
to do so as a matter of right: the observations and queries
of Mr Inspectors being appearing to or to be in their general complexion, if such
a nature as to have an imputation of the character of a man who should
have them unanswered.
At present — to help serve as a ground for the respite
I am thus paying for, I content myself with making
such communications as can be made under the small compass
of time which at present I can spare without the
greatest inconvenience
In the course of which it may occur to be as necessary
to say, I do not mean to convey any such imputation on
Mr Chief Inspector, as that of being influenced on the occasion
by any desire to do be instrumental to needless vexation or injustice, in any shape,
but it may be allowed to me to express my report on my own account that
for the public service had did put happened to pitch upon an occasion
in which necessity of the benefit to that service is so compleatly absent, and
the vexation to the individual so considerable.
