No. 11

I have the honor to forward an Authenticated and two plain
Copies of an Ordinance of the last Session of the Legislature of
this Colony, entitled;

No. 40. An Ordinance to provide for the
settlement of all outstanding questions relating to the sale of
Land for Taxes in Vancouver Island.

2. I already forwarded a copy of the report of the Committee
appointed to investigate the question in my despatch No. 157, of
the 30th
November 1867. Your Grace will have seen how respectably this
Committee was composed, how strongly the opinion of the
Legislative Council was supported, and will I think approve of
my having assented to the Ordinance.

3. I enclose the Report of the Attorney General.
