No. 66, Separate

In compliance with the request of the Legislative Assembly of
Vancouver Island, I have the honor to transmit certain further
Resolutions passed by that Body on the subject of Union with British
Columbia. These Resolutions were passed five days before the
Assembly expired by efflux of time.

I do not deem it necessary to occupy your time with any comments upon
the value of "Representative Government" as practised in this Colony.
The experience of the last two years may I think be taken as a fair
criterion in regard to the future.
