No. 59, Legislative

Referring to my Despatch No 33 dated 25th May 1865 on the subject
of Marriage Licences issued by the Governor of this Colony I have now
the honor to transmit further papers named in the margin

*

upon the same subject with a view to receiving your instructions in
the event of a similar Bill to that now transmitted being passed by
the Legislative Assembly in any future Session.

The documents herewith explain themselves and I have only to remark
that the "Bill to regulate the payment and application of fees for
Marriage Licences" passed the Legislative Assembly but was not
considered by the Legislative Council by reason of the late period at
which it passed the Assembly.
