Supreme Court - Indeed the 15th and 16th sections of the same Ordinance appear in their terms inconsistent with any such construction of the 4th section; for they speak of "the Prosecutor" and of "the Prosecutor or his attorney" whereas if the Attorney General had been the Prosecutor it is clear that the Attorney General would have been named.

Your Lordship's does not invite and we therefore do not feel called upon to express an opinion on the claim. The Chief Justice has the power to command the attendance and assistance of the Attorney General of the colony for the conduct of the prosecution generally.

We have the honor to be, My Lord, Your Lordship's most obedient humble Servants.

B.D. Collen, J.D. Coleridge
