Bucknill, Attorney-General, Mr. A. M. Thomson, Acting Colonial

Secretary, and Mr. A. G. M. Fletcher, Acting Colonial Trassurer.

After a lengthy hearing extending over eleven days the Committee

on the 15th. January presented two reports, one signed by kr...

Buckmill and kr. Thomson and the other signed by Ir. Fletcher, and

they also forwarded notes of the evidence and a statement by Kr.

Alim Khan. I enclose copies of these documents.

5.

The matter came before the Full Council on the

29th. January. Mr. Bucknill and Mr. Thomson explained that their

report was not to be interpreted as being in any way an exculpation

of Er. Alim Khan, and they concurred with the other members in

unanimously recommending that he should be dismissed from the

Service. I attach a copy of the minutes of the Iesting. I entirely

concur with the opinion of the Council, that no lesser punishment

than dismissal would adequately meet the case.

6.

I shall be glad if your decision may be

communicated by telegraph.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient,

humble servant,

Amay

Governor,&c..
