There existed in a must curious and reachable degree a sort of family party among the Crown Agents and the Colonial Ofles. The Permanent Under Secretary to the Colonies was Sir Montagu Ommunney. Mr. Oumannst, his nephew, was member of a firm who wore solicitors to the Crown Agents, and Mr. Shedford, who con structed the Gold Const line, was Sir Moutagu's son-in-law, and a member of a firm who were consulting engineers to the Crown Agents, This seemed like a condition of things borrowed from a comic opera of Gilbert and Sullivan
