December 7th. to the Legislative Council. I return the Rule as

requested.

reply you request ne to forward to the Secretary of State the

request contained in the subsequent paragraphs without reference

to other matters referred to in the letter. I would surrest that

in these circumstances the better course would be for Your

Honour to adopt the usual procedure set out in the latter part

of Colonial Regulation 218, and to forward to me a letter

addressed to the Secretary of State rather than that I should

transmit a ruutilated and unsigned portion of a letter which is

in part addressed to myself in the 2nd. person, end in part

the 3rd. person (paragraph 4 (3) ). I would draw Your Honour's

in the 10th. line of paragraph 4.

The Chief Justice.

I have etc.,

(sd.) F. D. Lugard,

Governor, ác..
