No. 49

I have received and have had under my consideration the Act passed
by the Legislature of British Columbia entitled No. 126 of 1871 "An Act
to provide for a permanent Civil List" which was transmitted to me in
your Despatch No. 39 of the 31st of March last.

I have reported to Her Majesty in Council my opinion that the said
Act should be specially confirmed; and I have the honor to transmit to
you herewith an order of Her Majesty in Council, dated the 16th of May
approving that Report.
