They had the best of reasons for believing that Mr. May, who as Captain Superintendent of Police was vorr anxious to see registration introduced, and as Colonial Secretary was equally in favour of the measure, would give the weight of his influence in favour of legislation in this direction, and were naturally taken aback by the uncompromising manner of the rejection of their petition.
