sir,

With reference to Your Excellency's letter of the 28th April, relating to the case of Mr.N. I, Brewer, I have the honour to say that I agree with the advice given by the Attorney General in his minute of the 26th February,1931, in C.S.0.916 of 1928, except that I should have suggested the

sum of £1000.

I do not think that it would be of any use to ask the

I think Benchers to give the reasons for their decision.

that it is quite probable that they would refuse to give

their reasons.

I should prefer not to comment on the trial beyond saying that it did not take the course which Mr.Fitzroy, and

I as Attorney General, intended.

Sir William Peel, K. C.M. G.,K.B. E.,
