Gov's Decision DD MMM YYYY". Where do we go to "vide" (see) these decisions handed down by the Lieutenant Governor? Would they have been part of the internal correspondence between the Colonial Secretary's Office and the Principal Superintendent of Convict's Department (which I assume haven't survived)? Or are they somewhere we can access?
