GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

Sir,

I have the honour to inform you that the

question of amending the Societies Ordinance, 1911, on the lines in-

4044 dicated in paragraph 2 of your Despatch No. 30 of 30th. January,

1912, was discussed last December and it was then considered un-

-desirable to do so for the reasons given in the enclosed minute dated 30th. December, 1911, by Mr.C. G. Alabaster, Acting Attorney- -General, in which Mr. Rees-Davies subsequently concurred.

2.

If it is however found by experience that the

provisions of the Ordinance are ineffective it will be amended in

accordance with the Straits amending Ordinance.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient,

humble servant,

Clandsevem

Officer Administering the Government.

&C.,

E RIGHT HONOURABLE

LEWIS HARCOURT, M.P.,
