Excerpt from Records of the Cape Colony, Vol. 21: From April to June 1825, Copied for the Cape Government, From the Manuscript Documents in the Public Record Office, London My Lord, - Since I had the honor of addressing your Excellency on the 26th Ultimo, Mr. Bishop Burnett has addressed another representation to my Under Secretary of State, of which I annex a copy for your Excellency's information. It appears from the documents annexed to that representation that your Excellency had directed Mr. Burnett to be prosecuted for a Memorial which he presented to You praying for a revision of certain judicial proceedings which had been adopted against him under the decision of a Commission of Circuit. In this Memorial he took occasion to make the grossest charges against the Judicial Authorities of your Excellency's Government. I am ready to admit that this was not necessary for the furtherance of his application; nor am I prepared to deny that the presenting a Memorial to your Excellency containing defamatory charges against any of the Public Authorities may be prosecuted according to the Dutch Law. But you must be aware that this is not the case according to the English Law, and in administering the Law in your Government, more particularly in what relates to the right of petitioning, the Dutch Law should be tempered by that of this Country.
