The Calcutta Weekly Notes. Monday September 18 1939

What with the over-conditional and much-varying consent of the Native States and the frank oppostion Of British India not to speak of the complexities of the question the task of iaugurating the Federation had become a truly exasperating one and the opportunity for temporary escape which the war offeed must have been exceedingly welcome. [...] Incidentally the decision taken by the Goernment disarms to a certain extent the Left Wing of the Congress the main ground of whose attack on the Right Wing was the alleged weakness of the latter's opposition to the impending Federation. [...] In delivering the judgment of the Judicial Committee in the case of Butler v. The King reported in 43 C. W. N. 1121 Lord Russell of Killowen described the composition of the Supreme Court of Trinidad and Tobago by saying that it consisted of the Chief Justice and the first second and the third Puisne Judges. [...] better informed section of the public know that the numbers only refer to the order in which the work is distributed generally by reference to portions of the area covered by the jurisdiction of the Court-. [...] 364 of the Criminal Procedure Code does not make the confession irrelevant because it is the statement 'in the confession and not the verfication of the statement which affords the evidence that the accused were guilty.
