136 O'Shea to Hackett, 26 May 1932 Quoted in Sinclair, University of Auckland, p.158

137 O'Shea once said that he would like to 'close up' Richmond because of his political views. As Sinclair says, 'It is difficult not to suppose, what Beaglehole's friends suspected in 1933 [sic], that he [O'Shea] had wanted to close Beaglehole up too.' Sinclair, University of Auckland, p.159

138 'Academic Freedom, the Case of Dr Beaglehole'. This paper grew to be de la Mare's Academic Freedom. O'Shea's comment is recorded in an annotation on p.4 of the draft made in John's handwriting. F.A. de la Mare Papers. MS-Papers-3865-2/3/4B. ATL

Writing to John on 8 November 1932, Hunter did say: 'I must confess that some members of the Auckland Council, not unfavourable to you, believe the case was decided on the basis of economy, though in their opinion a mistaken conclusion was reached'. He went on to say that his 'feeling' was 'that in the whole Auckland business the sinister figure is O'Shea'.
