Tus interesting question as to whether s Colonial Guromor possesses the power to release a prisoner incarcerated by order of
the Supreme Court of the Colony for alleged contempt has beou settled in tho affirmative by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Conneil. The special as which related to the Bahamas, was referred to this tribuas! for consideration by the Secretary of State. The editor of a local paper refused to give up the name or the MS. of a correspondent who criticised the Chief Justies, not judicially, but in reply to sopis requerks by the Chief Juation in the same local paper. For this not the editor was committed for contempt, bat released by the Governor auder express Instructious from the Secretary of State. The pointy which the Judicial Committee had to consider wern, firstly, whether the editor had committed contempt of Court at all; coudly, whether, if he had com mitted that offence, the sentencoa passed apon him were legal; and. thirdly, who ther the Governor had the right to order his release. The first was answered in the negative, and the two others in the affirms tire. Thus it appears that the power of the Governor of Crown Caluxy duen erloud to releasing a prisoner committed for contempt.
