No. 74

I have the honor to forward an Authenticated and two
plain Copies of an Ordinance of the recent Session of the
Legislature of this Colony, entitled;

No. 27. An Ordinance for regulating the acquisition
of Land in British Columbia.

I add the Report of the Attorney General.

2. Though a measure of this importance, drawn up
within less than a year of my assumption of the Government,
must to a very great extent be considered tentative, I allow
myself to hope that the present Land Ordinance is a great
improvement upon its predecessor.
