§ Sir WILLIAM COLLINSasked the Under-Secretary for the Colonies whether any Reports are received by him from time to time as to the administration of 2547W justice by the British North Borneo Company; and whether, on any occasion since the grant of the Charter to the company in 1881, the Secretary of State has acted under the powers contained in Article 10 of the Charter?
§ Colonel SEELYThe Colonial Office have not been called upon to make any suggestions to the company since 1907; prior to that date, while the affairs of the company were dealt with in the Foreign Office, I understand that there have been occasions on which the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs did make suggestions to the company, and, I presume, that this was done after certain representations under the powers conferred by Section 10 of the Charter.
