No. 13

I have received and laid before The Queen the Ordinances named in
the Margin,

*

which were passed by the Legislature of British Columbia in the month of
April last, and I have the honor to acquaint you that Her Majesty has
 been graciously pleased to sanction and confirm them.

You will communicate Her Majesty's decision with respect to these
Ordinances to the inhabitants of the Colony of British Columbia in the
usual and most authentic manner.

I have read the observations of the Attorney General upon Ordinance
No. 14, with all the respect to which they are entitled, but, on the
whole, I am of opinion that if the provisions to which he objects, are
found productive of practical inconvenience it may be left to the
Legislature to take the necessary steps for their removal.
