brown Prosecution and a Private Prosecution were shut by those two decisions of our Chief Justice, and therefore, having regard to the peculiar circumstances of the case, unless your Lordship otherwise directs, I shall not make any application for that sum to the Macao Government.
I have the honor to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient,
humble servant,

MINUTE PAPER.

The costs in this case now remaining for consideration are whether the Macao authority, who were both the prosecutor and the defendant (or rather plaintiff) and the private prosecutor, should be called upon for repayment of the expenses.
I agree with Sir R. MacDonnell in thinking that it is undesirable to press the claim, as it would be difficult to satisfactorily settle.
