The District Commissioner had decided to deal himself with a charge brought against a sub-chief instead of letting the case be heard in the District Court of Bukoba. The case was resubmitted to the Court and the sub-chief, Mwami Antonini, acquitted of being in possession of 'moshi', an illegally distilled liquor, on grounds of insufficient evidence.

Letters, including copies, are found in this file from:

  1. W.B. Bithrey, Commissioner of Police, Dar es Salaam
