FROM BURCHELLS,

LETTER TO The Under Secretary of State SHEET NO. 2 DATE

3.

It is suggested that the above facts should commend

themselves to the Governor with a view to his exercising

that leniency which is characteristic of British Justice.

4.

The Appellant's Solicitors, of course, point out

that their letter is written entirely on the assumption that

the decision of the Judicial Committee will be given against

the Appellant.

The Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office,

We are, Sir,

Your obedient Servants,

Burchells.
