No. 119

I have had the honor to receive Your Grace's despatch No 24
of the 11th of May expressing regret that an Act of Indemnity
had not been obtained from the Legislative Council in regard to the
expenditure of certain monies in the late Colony of Vancouver
Island without Legislative sanction.

2. It is with satisfaction that I have to state that with
considerable trouble the Auditor managed to place the public
accounts of Vancouver Island in such a position as to enable me
apply for and obtain the Ordinance of Indemnity forwarded
herewith. The Attorney General's report is enclosed.
