§ SIR GEORGE CAMPBELLI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies how it is settled whether offenders under the Pacific Islanders Protection Acts are to he tried by Australian Courts under the Act of 1872, or by the Imperial Authorities created by the Act of 1875?
§ BARON H. DE WORMSThe Court in which an offender would be tried must obviously depend upon the circumstances of the case, such as the locality in which the accused is apprehended, and the place in which the witnesses are to be found.
