No further legal provisions are needed for thinking itself, but I think the above observations will have convinced Your Lordship that some plain and speedy procedure is urgently needed by which a Consular officer can, without doubt or difficulty, take cognizance of cases such as that of the Chevrat, and by which the Officers of this Colony can have cognizance of them if the vessel in question happens to be British.

Having regard to the peculiar nature of the Offences to be dealt with, a Section should provide for the admissibility of evidence by affidavit or declaration to prove the receipt &c.
