Encl.No.1

Sir,

With reference to your despatch No.87 of

the 22nd February, 1934, I have the honour to submit for

the signification of His Majesty's pleasure the follow-

ing Ordinance intituled:-

2.

Encl.No.2

Encl.No.3 Encl.No.4

"An Ordinance to amend further the

"Supreme Court Ordinance, 1873."

The enclosed report by the Attorney General

explains the objects and reasons of the Ordinance.

3.

The words "without the consent of the

Governor" have been omitted from the amended section 11

for the reasons given in this report. The omission of

these words was very strongly urged by the Unofficial

Members of the Executive Council and in view of their

representations I thought it proper to seek the views of

the new Chief Justice on this matter. I enclose for

your information copies of the letter addressed by me to

the Chief Justice together with his reply.

In the circumstances I trust that this

deviation from the strict letter of your instructions will

receive your approval.

By

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

Your most obedient humble servant,

ん

the

Governor, &c.

SIR P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER, G.B.E., M.C., M.P.,
