No. 164

I have the honor to forward the following documents—

1. A Memorial from the President and Members of the Municipal
Council of New Westminster addressed to Your Grace praying that
this City may be declared formally the Capital of the United
Colony of British Columbia.

2. Certain Resolutions passed at a Public Meeting in Victoria
representing that that City had better be selected as the seat of
Government.

2. This latter is the complement of the papers which were
forwarded to me in your Grace's despatch No. 67 of the 1st
October. These papers fairly represent the two communities.
There is firmness in the one. Threats in the other.
