He likened himself to the first ocennants of the Garden of Eden, or to Naboth dispossessed of his vineyard. Personally, he added, he did not care where lie lived, but he bad to take into consideration the prestige of the Governor-General, and he took the stand that there should be an official residence sufficient for the Governor-General and capable of maintaining a large establishment. Tf that was not conceded, his ability to reside in Sydney must came to an end.
