amenable to law and order - During the time (nearly sixteen years) that I was appointed and continued to act as the Resident Magistrate in this district I had many opportunities of discovering this and believe that whilst acting towards the Natives with a determination to make them submit to the law I in a great measure succeeded in bringing them to understand and feel that the law protected them. From the lesser number I draw the inference that the greater if treated in a similar manner would shew a similar result. Then presuming the inference to be correct we are led to enquire from the present state of anarchy and wild confusion raging in so many parts of this island have the Natives been so treated? It appears to me that the great end socially and politically to be arrived at is to obtain and maintain the supremacy of the law. Every breach of the law should be enquired into and punished by the constituted authorities for carrying out the provisions of the law - All force whether of a Military Naval or Constabulary character
