9. Tauranga, 4th February 1880. "Did not attend."

I was not directed to hold this Court by the Chief Judge. It was my own adjourned Court, which I was precluded from holding by illness. Judge Fenton had seen before this date Dr. Haines' certificate ordering me sick leave and rest, and he saw me ill at Tauranga on the 4th February, 1880. (Vide Appendix F.)
