Regulations for the Preservation of Peace and Good Order in Samoa.

Colonial Secretary's Office,

Wellington, 6th February, 1893.

THE following despatch and enclosure, received from the High Commissioner of the Western Pacific, are published for general information.

P. A. BUCKLEY.

High Commissioner's Office, Western Pacific, Suva, Fiji, 29th December, 1892.

MY LORD,—Herewith I have the honour to enclose copies of a regulation which I have passed for the preservation of peace and good order in Samoa.

At present, under the Western Pacific Orders in Council, an attempt to create disorder can only be dealt with by an order of prohibition forbidding the person prohibited from residing within certain limits; or an order to find sureties for good behaviour, and in default an order of deportation.

As sureties can seldom be found, the Court is obliged to either dismiss the case with a caution or order the defendant to be deported, a course which would be justifiable only in a very grave case.

At present there are, I believe, many Europeans in Samoa who are inciting the natives not to pay their taxes, and to offer at least a passive resistance to the Government constituted by the Final Act of the Berlin Convention on Samoan affairs. It is therefore likely that a mere warning may not be a sufficient deterrent, and I have therefore passed the enclosed regulation, which will enable the Court to deal with persons seeking to create disturbance by a small fine or imprisonment, so that it will be unnecessary to issue any order of deportation except, as indicated above, in a case of special gravity and danger.

I have, &c.,

JOHN B. THURSTON.

His Excellency the Right Hon. the Earl of Glasgow, G.C.M.G., &c.,

Governor of New Zealand.
