I have further to acknowledge the receipt of your letter No 67 of the 10th May, 1886, covering a copy of the evidence upon which the report of proceedings is founded.

3.

I have also to note that I am invited to make any remarks I may wish to transmit to the Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the Colonies at the same time as the report.

Your letter + 10551 of 188 informs me that most of the evidence given to the said Committee was on the distinct assurance that the inquiry was a confidential one.

In availing myself, therefore, of your considerate invitation, I am confronted with the following difficulties:

(a) I have to submit remarks on the deliberate opinions of a Committee of the Executive Council of the Colony.

(b) The evidence, on which the Committee's report is founded, having been given on the distinct assurance that the enquiry was a confidential one, and having been given entirely by Officers under my immediate command, who probably did not imagine that it would ever come before my notice, I am deterred from making that free use of it, which I might otherwise have done, had it been given without any such reservation.

6.

I have now respectfully to submit my remarks on the said report.
