GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

My Lord,
Gov
34007
In reply to Your Lordship's Despatch No.
320 of the 24th June, 1919, I have the honour to enclose a
copy of Sir Henry May's minute of the 22nd July, 1918, as
requested by you.
I think that Your Lordship should also
have copies of the following minutes:-
Enclosure!
Enclosure 2.
(alto (e)
2.
(a). Mr. Hamilton to the Colonial Secretary, 19th July,
1918. (b). The Coloni:1 Secretary to the Governor, 19th July,
1918.
(c). The Colonial Secretary to the Attorney-General.
(I did not sign or date this minute but it was
sent to the Attorney-General.)
(d). The Attorney-General to the Colonial Secretary,
19th July, 19la. (e). The Colonial Secretary to the Governor, 25th July,
1918.
The above are all the relevant minutes on the file in 1918.
3.
I maintain that Sir Henry May
intended that the Government should support Hir. Hamilton if
and when the case came on for trial, and that he never con-
-templated that the Solicitors would run up a hewy bill of
costs such as that in Your Lordship's hands. For this reason
I do not consider that the Government is in any way bound to
pay whatever may be allowed on taxation.
4.
I propose to submit the matter to
HE RIGHT HONOURABLE
VISCOUNT MILNER, G.Ç.B.,
