Kennedy. Sir F. Macbride should not have read the confidential despatch of the Council, especially as his subsequent behaviour makes it questionable whether his re-employment in another Colony would be suitable.\n\nBut if an impartial outsider might be trusted to report upon the matter, there is no hope that Mr. Moorsom will escape being really \"whitewashed\".\n\nI agree with me Herbert and K June 27.\n\nPage 234\n\nConfidential- 7th February, 1890.\n\nThe Right Honorable\n\nThe Earl\n\nOf Kimberley\n\nHer Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies\n\nX\n\nX\n\n \nRM 2576 RM\n\nPably 27/6/2\n\nжи Нидером\n\n \nPage ... \n\n was not found, however, the original text has `234` at the top which is a page number, and there are some texts at the end which seems to be a page footer or leftover text. As there is no clear indication of the page number at the end, it is not included. The text `RM 2576 RM`, `Pably 27/6/2` and `жи Нидером` appears to be unrelated to the main content and may be a leftover or scanning artifact.",

Increase or decrease, cause of: How far due to individual exertion.\n\nC. Reports and suggestions of Messrs. DEANE and RICE, especially of the latter.\n\nD. \"Divided Authority.”\n\nE.

The limits imposed, therefore, on the enquiries of the Commission were exceedingly wide, and may be said to have embraced all the subjects fairly arising out of the policing of the Colony and the suppression of Crime. In order to enable them to obtain a firm grasp of these matters, it was necessary to call for a very great amount of oral testimony in addition to the voluminous documents which His Excellency forwarded for their consideration.\n\n3. The Commission entered upon their labours without delay, and appointed the Hon. T. C. HAYLLAR Chairman, and Mr. LISTER Secretary.",
