Hon. Colonial Secretary,
With respect to the question of a Court
of Appeal consisting of three Magistrates, I think it might be
established provided there is no appeal as of right and that an
appeal should only be allowed by leave of the Magistrate who
tried the case. There should also be a recognizance entered
into by the appellant to pay the costs of the respondent in
the event of the appeal being dismissed. The Court should also
have power to award costs, the maximum amount not to exceed
$100.
The costs of an appeal from the deci-
-sion of a Magistrate to the Supreme Court of bongkong in its
Appellate Jurisdiction is so costly as to be practically pro-
-hibitive except to the very rich.
