No. 27

I have the honor to forward an authenticated and two plain
copies of an Ordinance of the recent Session of the Legislature
of this Colony, entitled;

 No. 8 An Ordinance authorizing the sale of the Real Estate
of Intestates.

I add the Report of the Attorney General.

2. This Ordinance had its origin in representations made by
Mr Justice Begbie whose Minute on the subject I enclose.

3. The Bill passed through the Legislature without opposition
and was submitted to me for approval, I however considered it
advisable to require a clause to be inserted suspending the
operation of the Ordinance until Her Majesty's pleasure be known.
