You 2436

With reference to paragraph 2 of your

Despatch No. 48 of the 13th. ultimo, I have the honour to

transmit for your consideration the enclosed copy of a minute

relative thereto by the Attorney-General. In view of his re-

marks, I have the honour to suggest that the introduction of

the proposed amendment may be suspended until after the expira-

tion of a year, when a report on the working of the Ordinance

will be transmitted to you in accordance with the instructions

contained in paragraph 3 of your Despatch under reference. In

the meantime enquiry will be made from the Goverment of

Singapore as to the working of the analogous Ordinance in the

Straits Settlements, especially as regards the point to which

you have draw attention.

I have the honour to be,

HE RIGHT HONOURABLE

JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.,

Your most obedient Humble servant,

Governor, &C..
