THE SCHAH JEHAN.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE REGISTER.
Sir--I have hitherto refrained from making any comments on the very severe censure pronounced against me by the Court of Enquiry in the matter of the Schah Jehan. I would beg to remind the public, on whose opinion my reputation depends, that the ship is now in port, and they can judge for themselves whether justice at all times flows through the proper channel. I am also in hopes that the evidence taken at the enquiry will be published, which will throw another light on the subject, as Mr. Nation, whose evidence they were entirely guided by, was 10 days wrong in his days and dates.
I am, Sir, &c..
THOS. ALLEN.
