Seymour to Elliot (Assistant Under-Secretary)

I have had the honor of receiving your letter of the
28th of June calling for my opinion on an Ordinance recently
 passed by the Legislature of British Columbia entitled;

An Ordinance conferring certain privileges on the Williams Creek
Bed Rock Flume Company.

The privileges sought to be conferred upon the Company
are so very extensive that I would desire, should the Secretary
of State permit, to withhold my report until I have returned to the
Colony.

I see no objection to the Ordinance remaining in force for the
present.
