Your Excellency,
This is a very important question at the present moment and will become more and more so as time goes on. I therefore agree with the Attorney General in thinking that the general question should be referred to the Law Officers of the Crown. As to the particular question, it might be referred to Mr. Bruce Shepherd for inquiry and report.
(Signed.) J.H. Stewart Lockhart,
Colonial Secretary.
