Peel to Rogers (Permanent Under-Secretary)

I am commanded by the Lords Commissoners of Her Majesty's Treasury
to return to you herewith the Act passed by the Legislature of
Vancouver's Island in December 1862 entitled an Act to impose Certain
Stamp Duties on Writings and Deeds, which accompanied Mr Elliot's
letter of 23rd Ultimo, and I am to acquaint you for the information
of the Duke of Newcastle, that Their Lordships having communicated
this Act to the Commissioners of Inland Revenue, are of opinion that
there is no objection to it, but the Commissioners have called
attention to an omission in the Act as Noted in the Margin (17th
Clause).
