No. 46, Legislative

I have the honor to submit an Act respecting Barristers and Attorneys
at Law passed by the Legislature of this Colony on which I have
reserved my Assent in consequence of the advice of the Attorney
General whose observations on this Act I enclose.

This Act passed both branches of the Legislature, and my individual
opinion is in favour of its becoming Law.

I do not feel justified in setting aside the advice of the Attorney
General without a higher opinion which I have no means of obtaining
here.

I would therefore beg that I may be aided by the opinion of the Law
Officers of the Crown as to whether they think Mr Attorney General
Carey's objections are sufficiently weighty to justify me in
refusing assent to this Bill.

I would beg for this opinion at as early a period as possible.
