No. 52

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your Despatch No. 59
of the 1st April and to convey to you Her Majesty's Gracious
confirmation and allowance of the Ordinance of your Government No. 23 of
1869 entitled "An Ordinance respecting the property of Religious
Institutions in the Colony of British Columbia."

I do not quite understand however the 11th Section of that
Ordinance. I presume it is intended to cover some irregular proceedings
which took place under a Bill which never became Law. But I do not see
why such a Bill should require repeal.
