No. 91

I have the honor to forward an authenticated and two plain
copies of a Bill passed during the recent Session of the
Legislative Council, which I have reserved for Your Lordship's
instructions. It is entitled:

An Ordinance to encourage the Establishment of Investment and
Loan Societies.

2. In face of the objections entertained by the Attorney
General, whose report I enclose, I did not feel at liberty
to assent to the Bill. But there is considerable feeling in favor
of it, as will be seen by the petition I have the honor to forward.

3. My own opinion is
slightly in favor of the measure being allowed to become law.
