Internment Camp Divorces.

1.

On assumption Dalziel was domiciled in Hong Kong at time of action FURTHER ACTION.

I agree to introduction of validating Bill proposed in your telegram, with omission of suspending clause prescribed in Article XXVI of Royal Instructions.

2. As regards terms of Bill, definition of "Supreme Court" in Section 2 would appear to assume a positive answer to the very question at issue, namely whether the Chief Justice sitting in the Internment Camp was the Supreme Court of the Colony. I am advised it might be preferable to amend it so as to avoid this assumption. As however there is no other reference to the Court in the Bill.

3.

It may be unnecessary.

It seems desirable that when parties to the divorce are informed of this legislation, they should be warned of the doubt...
