No. 74

I have the honor to forward an Authenticated and two plain
Copies of an Ordinance of the recent Session of the Legislature,
entitled;

No. 10. An Ordinance for the better protection of Cattle, and
the better prevention of Cattle Stealing.

2. I think the measure a good one. It will apply principally
to the Islands lying between Vancouver Island and the Mainland
which are visited occasionally by very lawless people, both
of European and Indian extraction.

3. I enclose the Report of the Attorney General.

4. Your Lordship will observe that the ordinance contains a
suspending clause.
