The Colonial Secretary added that the circular had been stopped by Mr. Anstey, a Justice of the Peace, and again referred to that gentleman for his reasons for so acting in regard to it. On the 10th instant we again wrote to the Colonial Secretary (enclosure "ii") stating that it was clear from the explanation with which he had furnished Government that it must have acted in the matter either as the mere instrument of Mr. Anstey's will or individual opinion, or because, for reasons of its own, it considered that the further circulation of the document in question ought not to be permitted; we added that the Justice of the Peace, having submitted the circular to the Government, showed his consciousness that the power to arrest its circulation among his fellow Justices did not lie in him, that the Government, in adopting and giving effect to his act, made "those views and that act its own," and that, therefore, we were correct in stating that the Colonial Secretary, as representing the Government, did intercept the circular; and we did so for the third
