TRITTON (Lambeth, Norwood)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has received a memorial from the inhabitants of Jamaica respecting a new spirit licence law recently passed by the Jamaica Legislature; and whether, in accordance with the prayer of the memorialists, he will advise Her Majesty the Queen to withhold Her assent from the Bill?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIESI have such a memorial from certain inhabitants of Jamaica. After careful consideration of the Bill Her Majesty has been advised to disallow the law.
