EN CLOSURE

Report by the Attorney General.

Rec 27007 17.

157

I agree with the view which the Captain Supt

of Police has taken of the facts of this case, and I think

that Utter Singh himself lent money to Mr. da Rocha.

Under these circumstances it would appear

though the expression "Act as a money lender" is not al-

together free from ambiguity, that Utter Singh has commit-

ted a breach of the regulation contained in Government Noti -

fication 405 of 1894; and I think that aisobedience to the

Regulation in question would a.ount to misconduct within

the meaning of section 24 of Ordinance 14 of 1887 and that

His Excellency the Governor has, therefore,power to dismiss

Utter Singh upon the representation made by the Captain

Supt. of Police.

(Sa.) H. E. Pollock.

Acting Attorney General.
