My Lord,
With reference to Sir F. Lugard's

I would draw Your Lordship's
attention to paragraph 2 in which the Consulting Engineers
state "that apart from the type drawings which we original-
*-ly sent to the Chief Resident Engineer no questions of
"the design, working drawings or execution of masonry or
"concrete of bridges have ever been referred to us or been
"under our supervision in any way. It was throughout
"understood that such matters, as also such questions of
*foundations
