Janama, Mexico under contract for service in those countries, I am directed by the Board of Trade to forward herewith a copy of an Opinion by the Law Officers of the Crown on the legal aspects of the question.
I am at the same time to suggest, with reference to your letter (42429/06) of the 30th ult., that the Colonial Office should make a supplementary reference to the Law Officers in regard to the legal question raised in that letter.
I have the honour to be, your obedient Servant,
