Portée et contenu
(i) Has just seen A2/27/2. At first sight it would seem better, if the courts are amenable, for Government to prosecute Dyer than to leave him to private prosecution. Defers giving an opinion on whether it should be before a civil or military tribunal, though the latter would probably not protect Dyer from private prosecution.
(ii) Postpones discussing the matter till next week. Suggests advising the Viceroy that he will reply when he returns on Monday. Is not prepared to exonerate Dyer. ‘What about depor-tations?’
((ii) is repeated, more legibly, in the hand of S. K. Brown.)
