No. 54

I have the honor to forward an Authenticated and two plain
Copies of an ordinance of the late Session of the Legislature,
entitled;

No. 17. An Ordinance respecting the practise of Surgery, and
for the encouragement of the Study of Anatomy.

2. The subject is by no means a pleasing one and the Government
Members of Council were generally opposed to it.

3. It will rest with Your Lordship, after reading the Attorney
General's report, to determine whether the measure shall be
allowed or not. On the whole I think it advisable that it
should not be disallowed.
