No. 72

I have the honor to forward an authenticated and two plain
copies of a bill passed by the Legislative Council, during the
late Session, but not yet assented to by me. It is entitled;

An Ordinance to extend certain provisions of the 18 and 19
Vict: cap 90 to the Colony of British Columbia.

2. I enclose the report of the Attorney General.

3. I cannot see the necessity for the measure and in another
Colony with which I was connected a similar law was found far
from satisfactory.
