Mallet to Under-Secretary of State

I am directed by the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for
Trade to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 31st
ult, transmitting, by direction of the Duke of Buckingham,
with reference to previous correspondence, a copy of a Despatch
from the Governor of British Columbia enclosing an Ordinance,
No 10 of 1868, "to amend the Shipping Ordinance of 1867" as
well as a copy of the Ordinance of 1867, and in reply to state
for the information of the Secretary of State for the Colonies,
that My Lords have no further observations to offer on the
subject and see no reason why Her Majesty should not be advised
to sanction both Ordinances.
