10. I rather incline to the latter course.
The decision whether a political offence is involved, see Sir Henry's Evidence, question 4892 "Hardly reasonable to rely upon a magistrate without appeal to decide that the offence charged amounted to murder" within the meaning, when it might be notorious that the killing was political & not a crime in the legal sense of the word.
I am thinking that the word "shall" & "may" should be substituted for the word 'shall be lawful'.
In regard to the comments for clause 12,
I made clear the addition of a few words at the end of the section "or with the acquittal of the person from such charge". In the comment upon section,
I suggested that this section would only cover acts "bona fide" done in discharge of duty. But those or similar words might be inserted.
I concur with the remaining comments.
Send copy to J.O. with such remarks as may be thought right & with any other comment which may be decided upon, and desire to be informed at once.
