The Victorian Imagination, a Sampler. The remaining publication is a book which in our opinion falls into a difficult category. Some investigations which we have carried out suggest to us that the material reproduced might be genuine Victorian literature. The authenticity of the material is very much a matter which could determine the classification given to this publication. The Tribunal has the powers of a Commission of Inquiry which enables it to obtain further evidence in relation to a particular matter. In this case the Tribunal believes that it is important that expert evidence be obtained as to whether or not the material in this publication is genuine Victorian literature. Upon receipt and consideration of that expert opinion the Tribunal will reach a final determination as to this publication. The application in respect of it has been adjourned.

Dated at Wellington this 25th day of July 1985.

Judge R. R. KEARNEY, Chairman.
