3. In the enclosed copy of the official Minutes relating to the case, Your Lordship will see that the Attorney General is of opinion that such officers require night- passes in the same way as Spanish officers in Gibraltar, but that I may give instructions to have special passes issued without application in similar cases.

4. I should be glad to know whether Your Lordship thinks special passes might be issued without any formal applications.
