of the powers sought for by the Petitioners. If braach

regiat ere of the kind under consideration were opened in

I am accordingly to suggest, subject to the

approval of Lord Cushandun, that before a decision ie taken

the Treasury should be obtained.

I am to nd: that a copy of this latter hap

been sent to the Colonial office.

S.W.L.

sir.

Your obediant Sorvant,
