No. 187

I have duly received your Despatch No 57 of the 29th April,
transmitting the Copy of a letter from Mr John Barnston of Montreal,
relative to his sons exclusion from practice in the Courts of British
Columbia, and Vancouvers Island. I have the honor to inform you in
reply thereto, that I will take steps, at an early period, for
procuring the admission of Lawyers, educated either in Canada, or
the British Colonies generally, to practice in the courts of British
Columbia, and Vancouvers Island.
