grateful for your observations, particularly as
regards the question of jurisdiction in the Aden
Protectorate.
I If the statementein para.4 of the G.of I.'s
letter are correct it would appear that the Protectorate,
while not British (or British Indian) territory, was

I have always been rather hazy about the position in the Aden
’Protectorate' as rry previous notes shew. I was not aware that
the Crown exercised suzerainty over the Aden Protectorate
similar to that exercised over the States in India proper.
Indeed I was under the impression that (see my note of the
8th January 1929 in P.3082/1917) that there must have been a
declaration by the Crown under para 2 of the Indian (Foreign
Jurisdiction)
Order in Council

About this item
- Content
The file contains correspondence and notes regarding the development of the draft Aden Defence Scheme, and the authority under which the Resident (later Chief Commissioner) of Aden was able to exercise emergency powers, for example relating to censorship, arrest, and control of economic security.
The point at issue was whether the emergency regulations should be issued by the Resident (later Chief Commissioner) under authority given by: an Order in Council A regulation issued by the sovereign of the United Kingdom on the advice of the Privy Council. ; under powers granted by the Governor-General in Council; or through the Indian Legislature. It was eventually decided that powers for the Aden Settlement could be granted under the Indian (Foreign Jurisdiction) Order in Council A regulation issued by the sovereign of the United Kingdom on the advice of the Privy Council. of 1902, through the Governor General in Council. It was also decided that the Aden Protectorate would best be served through the issuance of a Regulation under Section 71 of the Government of India Act.
Subsequent correspondence for 1935 concerns the Defence of Aden Regulations (1935), and the potential for retrospective approval of emergency rules issued by the Chief Commissioner, in light of worsening relations with Italy.
The principal correspondents in the file are as follows: the India Office The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors. Political Department (Sir John Laithwaite, Sir Horace Algernon Rumbold); the Legal Adviser to the Secretary of State for India (Sir Edward Chamier); the Air Ministry (Charles Evans); the Foreign Secretary to the Government of India (Herbert Metcalfe); the Resident (later Chief Commissioner) at Aden; and the Under Secretary of State for the Colonial Office (Roland Vernon).
The file includes a divider which gives a list of correspondence references contained in the file by year. This is placed at the end of the correspondence (folio one).
