duly sent to Mr. Ryrie. not in a position to say M. Kyrie did with the replies.
Having
now dealt
seriatim with every allegation
and contention contained in

state my conclusion on the whole matter. I consider
that it has been conclusively shown by the Colonial Secretary
that while a certain number
of persons have lost heavily by gambling in recent years, the community taken as a whole has progressed, and
that it is bound to continue to progress; that the financial

that a loan for public works is not immediately necessary, and that the fact of this necessity
does not in any way controvert the soundness of the financial position
