From the above Official representations the Government is in a position to assert that (1) the Bench of Magistrates is not the only judicial Tribunal before which cases "under Ordinance" have been brought, but that reference has been made to the Supreme Court, the "highest expounder of Colonial Enactments"— (2) that the Ordinance is retrospective, And (3) that if by "indubitable right of Appeal" is meant appeal by way of Certiorari, such way is shown to be unavailable and practically non-existent.
On the subject of "Fees and Costs" Ordinance His Excellency would remark that no appeal or representation has ever been made to the Government of grievances suffered in the Equity Admiralty cases to which you refer, and that His Excellency is not aware that the Revenue of the Colony has been increased by any portion of costs.
