CONFIDENTIAL

2. The arrangements at present in effect under which appeals

lie from the Courts of Brunei to Her Majesty in Council will

continue as hitherto

If the foregoing correctly represents the conclusions

reached between Your Highness and Her Majesty's Government,

I have the honour to suggest that the present Note and

Your Highness's reply to that effect should place on record

the understanding between our two Governments on these matters,

which will come into operation five years from the date of

signature of this Note or five years from 31 December 1978

whichever is the earlier.

I avail myself of the opportunity to renew to Your

Highness the assurance of my highest consideration.

G.b.
