I have the honour to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your Despatch No. 432 of the 19th. December last, in
which you suggest that the Legislative Council of this Colony
might, as a matter of precaution, introduce legislation similar
to that embodied in Straits Settlements Ordinance No. 3 of
1901 and Ceylon Ordinance No. 5 of 1902.
2.
In consideration of the fact that there
does not appear to be any necessity for such legislation at
present in this Colony, I do not propose to take any immediate
steps in that direction, but the matter will not be lost
sight of.
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.,
