§ 12. Mr. PARKINSONasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what modifications have been made in the Native Authority Ordinance, as published in the Gambia Government Gazette on 28th February, 1933, and in particular whether any judicial authority is set up to which appeal may be made from the Native Tribunals; and, if not, to whom such appeals lie?
§ Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTERThere has been no modification of this Ordinance.. In accordance with the Native Tribunals Ordinance, the Provincial Commissioner 316 concerned may, upon the application of the defendant or upon his own motion, transfer any cause or matter from a native tribunal to a subordinate court, whence the Supreme Court may, on application made, order proceedings to be transferred and heard before itself.
