Scope and content

Is concerned at evidence before the Hunter Committee showing that officers inflicted punishments of their own devising and passed objectionable orders such as the ‘crawling order’. He presumes that the Committee will make recommendations about actions it considers unjustified and inconsistent with the orders in the report [by Hailey] for the province, but asks what will be done if an action is found to be an excess or abuse of martial law.
