Whether the amendments suggested
meet the objections raised by the Judges is,
I think, a question for Hong Kong to decide.
Their result, however, is to abandon the principle of the judicial inquiry for British
subjects which has all along been insisted upon
here. I do not see why the Judges in Hong
Kong should raise objection to any such
system. It is, I believe, in force in Kenya.
9 The O.A.G. should, therefore, not suggest
proceed with this Bill, and I think the best the ing
to do is to instruct him to wait until
the Committee reports.
I have examined the draft Ordinance,
and have set out in a memorandum attached
several points which have occurred to me on
the draft as it stands with the proposed
amendments.
16th September, 1932.
Clarly the position which has arisen
be carefully
in HK, will have to be
considered by the Office Committer.
