Hon. Colonial Secretary,

Enclosure 1.

119

The Secretary of State says "it is only in

fees feel

case of difference (i.e. amongst the members of the Board) that the award of costs including these feste, becomes liable to review by the Registrar of the Supreme Court",

I respectfully submit that his bracketed

interpretation is not correct. I think it means that the Board awards costs and in case of a difference of opinion between the Crown and parties the costs are to be taxed by the Registrar

of the Supreme Court.

I have drafted a short bill to make it clear

that the words referred to differences between the parties.
