§ MR. HENNIKER HEATON (Canterbury)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies has he any objection to state the modifications referred to in regard to the Samoan Ordinance affecting Mr. R. L. Stevenson?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Mr. S. BUXTON,) Tower Hamlets, PoplarIt is not usual to publish instructions before they are in the hands of the officer to whom they are addressed, and in this case there is no adequate reason for departing from that rule.
