[59] Sir,

I cannot hear of any other witnesses in the case of the King versus Thomas Miller, than the Black Natives, and as you inform me in your Letter of 16th Jan last, that, they are not Competent witnesses in a Criminal Court, I shall not forward them to Sydney.

I have this known to be,

Sir,

Your obedient Humble Servant
