Enclosure 24 in No. 1.
Copy of a Letter from Mr. Strang to the Hon. the Native Minister.
Sir,—
In the absence of His Honor Mr. Justice Johnston (a letter, of which the enclosed is a copy) has been received by me, and as it refers to matters connected with the Natives, who have improperly addressed the Judge, regarding proceedings in the Court, it is my intention to inform them of the irregularity of the course they have adopted.
I think it advisable to inform you of the circumstance.
