Sir,
COMMISSIONER OF POLICE.
INSPECTOR. J. SHAPAWRD:
77
In reply to your meno. dated 28.7.47 I am still at a les know how confusion arose regarding memorands that you have mentioned, for, all that I am cerresponding about is our Memo. of 29.1.47 which by my Memo, dated 21.2.47. ( Copy attached ) is the petition that I was informed of had been rnet to the Rt. Hon. the Secretary of State.
The attached Meno. is my written request and bears out that I made no verbal request for our Memo. to be sent to the Sec. of State.
Hence ne confusion should exist or have existed: In stating this, if our Meno, had been properly dealt with I fail to see why it should be confused with same other matter:
I am thankful of the reminder to Government General Order No. 53 which is the order I have fully complied with through-
●ut, for, a perusal of all correspondance rill find this to be
2. I too very much regret that there is confusion and matter whether it was unintential or net does not help to solve the problem. I feel you will agree that there has been no confusion on my part.
My Memo. was not submitted to the proper authorities and as I have already stated, excepting salaries-- which also entails allowances, quarters, light, fuel, medical attention and pens long- and which was extracted from our petition by your Memo. of 13.2.47 and placed before the Salaries Commission

That the Commission had a copy of Mr. Secretary HALL'S letter from me is entirely untrue, nor did I súbmit "the Special Memorandua", ner Bid Government have the right to submit my Mene. to the said Commission and I most certainly did net ventilate samo.
Had the Chairman so raised the point I would have refused tɔ discuss same considering that while present there I had your Meno. advising me that our petition had been forwarded to the Se Secretary of State.

I alse fail to see why the Coamission examed you on same a and I only hope, Sir, that you expressed ɛurorisë gani at the aane time informed the Commission that that matter had been submitted by you to Government accompanied by our request for sane to be spent to the Rt. Hon. the Secretary of State for the Colonies.
It would seen that someone is at cross purposes here. I am fully prepared to meet anyone to again state what I put befoer the Commission,

4. I acknowledge with thanks the references in para 4 of your Mene.
The fact that I quoted, should I contravene Govt. General Order No.53. disciplinary action would or could be taken arainst me, was that officers now serving here contravened that order and were placed on a Departmental charge. In saying so I also wished to noint put that I was conforming to Regulation, at the same time to infer or state that there who were responsible for such regulations should also abide by sane
I am informed that you have sent to the Secretary of the European Inspectors Association a letter referring to the action taken by the Officers on leave. I have not seen this letter and trust you are net under the misapprehension that
