8th December, 1925 .
Sir,
I am directed by Mr. Secretary Amery to
acknowledge the receipt of your letter Ko. J 3121/681/1
of the 19th November enclosing the draft of proposed
amendments to Articles 35 and 56 of the Abyssinia Order
in Council 1913 on the subject of the place of detention
of British Somalis convicted before the Mixed Court at
Addis Ababa, and to request you to inform Secretary Sir
Austen Chamberlain that he concurs in the terms of article
1 of the proposed amending Order.
2. As regards article 2 it appears to Mr. Amery
that this clause, even if read alone, would suggest that
Berbera is a place "within His Majesty^ Dominions" and
when read, as it has to be, with article 56 of the
Principal Order, it makes that suggestion a matter of
necessary implication.
* would seem, therefore, that article 56 itself
requires slight amendment and that it would be preferable
iX article 2 of the amending Order were to provide for the
amendment of article 56 of the Abyssinia Order in Council A regulation issued by the sovereign of the United Kingdom on the advice of the Privy Council.
1913 by substituting the words"without the limits of this
Order" for the words "within His Majesty ! s Dominions" and,
by adding Berbera to the places therein mentioned to
which offenders may be sent for imprisonment as therein
provided.
I am, etc.,
(Signed) J. Fredk, K. Green.
he Secretary of State,
Foreign Office.
