Opinion of the Attorney General

We have no jurisdiction to deal with this case except as the Master of the ship may have committed a breach of the Harbour Ordinance (1862).

I recommend that the Italian Consul (The Honorable W. Meswick) be officially advised.

(Argued) I, Faunce, Acting Attorney General, 23/1/69.

Memo by His Excellency the Governor

Refer once in original (to be returned) to Italian Consul, and state that I am of the circumstance and he will probably feel it his duty to institute inquiry and draw a "Procès Verbal" for the information of the Government which he represents.

I have heard that the Master is a Spaniard. If so, he will do well to act in conjunction with the Spanish Consul. I am very desirous to have a full investigation.

(Signed) Ali MR. 23 January

(True Copies)

Sardina Martin, Colonial Secretary.
