More drastic measures than any mildocê in dealing with these matters may be necessary should unhappily an occupation of the Colony take place, or be threatened, or any section of the Community rise in revolt. In such case the ordinary Law must be suspended by the Proclamation of Martine Law. 179 The responsibility for issuing such proclamation rests, as indicated in Lord Stanley's despatch No 104 of the 24th May 1845 and in Lord Carnarvon's despatch circular of the 26th January 1864, with the Governor as the highest authority in the Community, It would be most convenient therefore, and I venture to think in all the circumstances most desirable, that in the matters more particularly referred to by Major-General Kation, the Governor should have
