MY LORD,

No. 854.

(GIBRALTAR.)

ATTORNEY GENERAL to COLONIAL OFFICE.

Temple, September 12, 1873.

I AM honoured with your Lordship's commands, signified in Mr. Herbert's letter of the 3rd instant, stating that he was directed by your Lordship to transmit to me the enclosed copy of a Despatch from the Governor of Gibraltar forwarding a memorial from Mr. Francisco Maria Montero and his wife, of San Roque in Spain, praying that the Governor might be instructed to approve a deed of sale of certain property now held by Mr. John Bernard.

That your Lordship desired to enclose a volume containing the Land Orders in Council referred to in the memorial, which would be found in pages mentioned in margin, and to request that I would take the papers into consideration and favour your Lordship with my opinion whether the deed of sale should be approved by the Governor.

In obedience to your Lordship's commands I have the honour to

Report

That the Attorney General of Gibraltar appears to me to have placed the true construction upon the language of the Alien and Naturalization Acts, and I am of opinion that the deed of sale in question is not one which should be approved by the Governor of Gibraltar.

I have, &c, (Signed) J. D. COLERIDGE.

&o.

The Right Hon. the Earl of Kimberley,

&c.
