remarks to offer thereon.
Captain Deane, in para 47 of his report refers to a statement made by Major-General Cameron (vide page 208 of evidence) in which he lays down that the Police have no business to interpret the law. The law is laid down, and it is for the Police to carry out their orders. They have nothing to do with saying to the Government whether religious ceremonies should take place or not." Mr. Deane is totally opposed to this view, which is the one entertained by the whole of the Executive Council, including the Attorney-General, Mr O'Malley, as well as his locum tenens Mr. Ackroyd.
Mr. Deane complains that a new policy has been adopted since 1882, and makes assertions respecting the Registrar General's Department which appear to me not altogether founded on fact. On this point a report from the Acting Registrar-General, Lockhart, to which I beg to refer you.
