BVI: CAPITAL CASES

See 14

1.

We spoke about the enquiry from No. 10. I attach a short paragraph on the BVI cases; this includes a sentence on the exercise of the royal prerogative, but you may wish to sweep this up with your general comments about the rôle of colonial governors in capital cases.
