4.—The materials to be placed at the Committee’s disposal by 
Jady Elliot. With Mr. EK. Thomas’ co-operation in England, the Com- 
mittee will be in a condition to determine what they will require to 
be sent out and what portion may be left with him, or accessible to 
him, for compliance with references made to him from this Committee.
