Murdoch to Rogers (Permanent Under-Secretary)

I have to acknowledge your letter of 30th ultimo with a
despatch from the Governor of British Columbia enclosing an
ordinance passed by the Legislature of the Colony entitled

"An Ordinance to confirm certain titles to Real property in
Vancouvers Island."

2. The Attorney General explains that this Ordinance is merely
a recapitulation of an Ordinance passed in Van Couvers Island, in
which the legal title of the Hudsons Bay Company was incorrectly
given. I am aware of no objection to the Ordinance, and I would
recommend that it should be left to its operation.
