Sir,
1 hove the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your
despatch Bo# 280 U 3299/681/1) of the 19th ultimo on the
subject of the registration of British Somalia* My des
pot ch Bo* 120 of August 29th will show that all British
subjects aro urged to register et the nearest British consul,
ate, but my despatch bo* 161 of October 16t'h will show that
this is not always easy in the cade of penniless British
■ r
ails living several days* journey fro?!, the nearest Brltial
consulate, and whose low $t if if Intelligence cannot always
be expected to grasp the importune® of this tr>ublesome and,
for some of them, costly system. Mr* Kittermustor suggests
in paragraph 5 of his despatch to the Colonial Office
Bog 164 of November 28th that applications for r-glstr. tlon,
supported by documentary evidence, should be allowed free,
or at © reduced charge, and It should be possible to rake
them by post, but the danger of impersonation to which he
refers would, of course, thereby be increased* In a
despatch dated August 14th and forwarded to you in my
deep; tch Bo* 120 of August 29th, the Acting Governor of
Somaliland suggested that protection bo afforded to non-
registered British -omalls only in cases whore they were
eg. It la obviously both difficult and 11log!cal
to r .fuse protection in any given case unless and until a
life is in Ganger, and then to step in and claim the
Individual as a protected person*
