be glad if you will carefully reconsider
whether it is an essential power to be
possessed by the Controller of Stores and
any public officer authorised by him in this
instance. In any case it appears to me
that the power to arrest and detain persons
who are suspected of "intending to commit"
an offence against the Ordinance is too wide,
the power
and should be limited to those who may be
A
suspected of having committed such an
offence.
Further, I consider that the power
of detention should be limited to what may
be necessary to bring the arrested person
before a magistrate.
3. I shall be glad to receive your
observations on these matters in due course.
I have, etc.,
Sed.,
