No. 46

I have the honour to communicate to Your Grace that I opened the
second Session of Vancouver Island on the 26th of June last, and now
forward Copies of my Message on that occasion and of the Addresses
since received from the Legislative Council and House of Assembly in
reply to it.

2. The Message briefly reviews the condition of the Colony, and
recommends certain Measures which it is proposed to bring forward in
course of the present session.

3. The nature and object of those Measures are clearly explained in
the Message, and I will therefore not trouble Your Grace with any
remarks regarding them at present.
