No. 27

I have the honor to forward an Authenticated and two
plain Copies of an Ordinance of the present Session of the
Legislature of this Colony, entitled;
No. 2. An Ordinance to amend the Law of Evidence.

2. I am unable to procure the legal summary of the
Attorney General in consequence of a pressure of business.
However the Act explains fully its objects, and I need only
say that it was the result of a Conference between the Judge
of the Supreme Court and myself. My instructions were embodied
in the present Ordinance by the Attorney General.
