5. Your petitioner is advised that there is no means by

which her husband can as of right secure the reversal of his

conviction, and that it is most improbable that if he applied

to the Privy Council for special leave to appeal that such

leave would be granted. Your petitioner is also advised that,

in view of the opinion of the Benchers of the Kiddle Temple,

the conviction would be quashed by any Court having jurisdiction

to hear Criminal Appeals.

6. By reason of such conviction and/or the events which

have followed, it has for approximately one year been impossible

for Mr.Brewer to make a living in this Colony and even now

it appears to your petitioner that if her hisband were to

return his hopes of getting a living would be very seriously

circumscribed.

7. Apart from the above, so long as that conviction stands,

it is a serious handicap to her husband's efforts to earn a

living. Without going into details, it is sufficient to point

out that there are some positions in life which cannot be held

by Mr.Brever so long as his conviction stands.
